Champions of fresh and flavoursome food, Mexicali Fresh, will open the doors to the first South Island store this Wednesday the 26th of August. The Christchurch store, located at The Landing at Wigram Skies, will be the fourteenth branch since Mexicali Fresh’s inception in 2006.
The latest iteration will deliver on Mexicali Fresh’s ethos of healthy, fresh and delicious food made in-store each and every day, with an emphasis on using locally-sourced ingredients when possible. The fresh ingredients combined with an impressive array of drinks and restaurant atmosphere offers an experience like no other.
“We’re thrilled to be able to bring the best Californian-style Mexican food to Cantabrians,” says Mexicali Fresh Co-owner Conor Kerlin. “We’ve been on the hunt for the right South Island location and franchisee for over a year, and we’ve found it. We can’t wait to finally be part of the Canterbury community.”
After ten years of serving in the Auckland police force, new franchisee, Steve Goodgame is excited to bring his family back to his hometown and kick-start the love for Mexicali Fresh in his original stomping ground. “I always knew our family would return to Christchurch and being a part of the reinvigorated marketplace in Wigram and the wider region is such a rewarding process. Now it’s time to turn on the lights, open the doors and start serving delicious California-style Mexican meals!”
“We’re stoked to have Steve and his family join ours. Mexicali Fresh’s philosophy and strong family values aligned perfectly with Steve’s, it’s a fantastic partnership,” adds Kerlin.
