The following is a press release written by Cia Abulencia for Bubbakoo's Burritos.
Bubbakoo’s Burritos, the award-winning Mexican-fusion concept, announces the opening of its newest location in Bloomington, Indiana, on April 23. To celebrate, the first 50 customers on opening day will receive free burritos, and on April 24, all guests can enjoy a buy one, get one free offer.
The restaurant is conveniently located at 917 S. College Mall Rd., in a retail corridor near College Mall and Indiana University, and will be owned and operated by a local entrepreneur who has been part of the Bloomington community for more than a decade. The location is expected to attract both students and local residents, introducing a fresh, fast-casual dining option to the area.
“Bloomington is a vibrant community, and we saw a clear opportunity to bring something new to the market,” said the local ownership team. “What drew us to Bubbakoo’s was its unique menu, strong franchise support, and fast-growing presence. We can’t wait to create a welcoming space where students, families and neighbors can enjoy great food and feel connected to the community.”
Over the past 17 years, Bubbakoo’s Burritos has become a fan favorite for its unique menu, superb customer service, and welcoming dining environment. Living up to its promise to “create something different,” the brand offers more than 12 signature flavors that fuel its ever-evolving lineup—from the Papi Hibachi steak and shrimp Burrito, to the Crispy Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla, Nashville Hot Crispy Chicken Burrito, and California Steakhouse Burrito, and more, guests are encouraged to blend creativity with the fresh, high-quality ingredients Bubbakoo’s has to offer.
Guests visiting the Bloomington location can also enjoy a lineup of new limited-time offerings designed to highlight bold, craveable flavors across the menu. The Birria Crunch Stack introduces a rich, slow-cooked birria layered in a crispy stacked format, topped with fresh onions and cilantro and served with savory birria consommé for dipping. The Verde Chicken Empanadas, created in partnership with TOMA, offer a craveable, shareable side that complements any entrée. Rounding out the lineup, the new Plant-Based Chorizo provides a plant-forward protein option that can be added to any burrito, bowl or taco, giving guests even more ways to customize their meal.
“Opening in Bloomington is an exciting step for our brand as we continue to expand into new markets,” said Chris Ives, CEO of Bubbakoo’s Burritos. “With its dynamic mix of students and residents, this community is a natural fit for our concept. We look forward to introducing new guests to our customizable menu and delivering the experience that has made Bubbakoo’s a fan favorite nationwide.”
