Morayfield Guzman y Gomez to open, creating 80 new jobs

A popular Mexican food chain continues to expand across Queensland’s southeast with plans to hire more than 400 staff as it opens more stores, including one north of Brisbane.

Guzman y Gomez will open its fifty-second restaurant in Queensland at Morayfield in the Moreton Bay on Tuesday, August 9.

This will be Guzman y Gomez’s fourth, but not final, store opening in Queensland this year.

The chain is also on a massive hiring spree with more than 400 roles to fill as soon as possible.

To celebrate the opening staff will serve $5 burritos and bowls all day, along with free coffee and a live Mariachi band will provide entertainment.

Franchisee Luke Francey, who also runs North Lakes and Rothwell, has a great passion for the food chain

He said he had an obsession with clean, fresh fast food which is why he opened his first franchise in 2016 after a decade in the health and fitness industry
