Bisquets Obregón (alternatively known as Los Bisquets de Obregón and Los Bisquets Bisquets Obregón) is a Mexican fast casual restaurant chain. It was opened in 1945 Avenida Álvaro Obregón, Colonia Roma, Mexico City. By the 1960s, the business expanded within Greater Mexico City. The chain model began in 1995 with the first franchise in Cancún. By 2023, the chain had grown to 120 restaurants across Mexico. It offers à la carte Mexican food, along with coffee and bread options.
History
The restaurant brand began as a Chinese-style coffeehouse called La Perla de Oriente, located on Avenida Álvaro Obregón in Colonia Roma, Mexico City. The establishment was later acquired by Isidro, a baker, who invited his nephew, Miguel Ángel Mancera Segura (father of Miguel Ángel Mancera), to join him in the business. By 1960, new locations had opened in Plaza Inn and Ciudad Satélite, both in Greater Mexico City. In 1980, the name was rebranded as Bisquets Álvaro Obregón. In 1995, the brand marked a shift toward a restaurant chain model. The first franchise location opened in Cancún, Quintana Roo.[2]
As of 2023, there were 120 restaurants across the country. Franchisees can purchase a license to operate a location for ten years, with an option to renew. According to El Financiero, the cost ranges from US$40,950 to US$65,000, plus taxes.[2]
Description
