FREEBIRDS World Burrito, known for offering “way more choices” to custom-build rockin’ burritos, salads, nachos, tacos and more, announced today it will open its Midland location at the Midland Marketplace and partner with two deserving charities, Midland Habitat for Humanity and American Red Cross of Southwest Texas, as the company opens its new restaurant at NEC Loop 250 and Wadley on Tuesday, May 17th, 2011. To celebrate the opening, FREEBIRDS invites the community to celebrate the Midland opening and is giving the first 25 guests in line free burritos for a year!
In the days leading up to the opening of the new Midland restaurant, FREEBIRDS and its charitable arm, FREEBIRDS World Works with its mission to inspire team members and guests to give back to the community, will conduct the following pre-opening events that are open to the public:
– Sunday, May 15th, 2011: FREEBIRDS will partner with Midland Habitat for Humanity from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. and again at 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. The first 250 guests during each time slot will enjoy complimentary food and drinks in exchange for a $5 donation to the Midland Habitat for Humanity.
– Monday, May 16th, 2011: FREEBIRDS will partner with the American Red Cross of Southwest Texas from 11:00 a.m. -2:00 p.m. The first 250 guests will enjoy complimentary food and drinks in exchange for a $5 donation to the Red Cross organization to provide relief for victims of disaster.
FREEBIRDS is about awesome burritos and freedom of choice. As guests join the queue, they are partnered with a team member, known as a “Roller,” who helps them choose from four sizes of burrito made from four possible flavors of tortilla then hand-rolled with the guest’s personal selection from more than 40 freshly prepared ingredients including grass fed beef, hormone-free chicken, or all natural pork carnitas topped with hand-cut veggies and hot peppers plus house made salsas, queso and guacamole to create their perfect burrito. Burritos range in size from the generously-sized Hybird starting at $4.69 to the legendary Super Monster which can weigh-in at seven pounds.
Each FREEBIRDS restaurant features the concept’s signature Statue of Liberty – affectionately known as ‘Libby’ – riding a custom-built motorcycle breaking through the Freedom Wall. Libby was designed to serve as a reminder that each of us can break through walls and truly change the world. The restaurant has a free-spirited ambience with a rockin’ soundtrack, reminiscent of a late-’60s rock ‘n’ roll roadhouse.
Restaurant veteran Bradley Lewis resident of Midland will manage the new FREEBIRDS restaurant which will employ approximately 75 team members from the local community.
