Looks like Fritas is planning to open a location in Brooklyn, hopefully they’ll do well with so many people from the east coast going to UofM. It’s exciting to see an Ann Arbor brand expanding!

I wish them luck! Although im a little skeptical. Williamsburg rent is going to be insane, but hopefully, they've figured out some kind of profitable arrangement. It's a pretty saturated market in terms of food options, especially in that area, but I'm not in the restaurant business, so what do I know...
If they open before I leave ny for good, I'll definitely stop by to support them!

I’m interested to know how restaurants make these strategic decisions?
Why not go to Madison where you know your target demographic is interested?
Why not pick a less competitive market where you are closer to the best option? Fritas can easily be overlooked in NYC.

I walked by the new location in Williamsburg the other day and did a double take! It’s in a less trafficked area by the waterfront so I hope they do well.
