Provided May 13, 2021 Thanks to an agreement with a trio of Texas entrepreneurs, Houston-based Fajita Pete's will open 10 locations in Dallas' northern suburbs later this year. David Howell, Richard Howell and Pat "Wheels" Smith, who own G&S Business, have experience with fast casual brands, including as a franchisee of Georgia-based Zaxby's. David Howell has served as an executive leader of Austin's Hat Creek Burger Company, and Richard Howell is a former board member of Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, according to a company press release. G&S Business decided to partner with Fajita Pete's after Smith picked up an order of fajitas for dinner during a family visit to Dallas. When he returned to Austin, he told David and Richard Howell about the concept and was emphatic about finding a way to franchise with Fajita Pete's.
