On Friday, November 15th, the AustCham Korea team had the exciting opportunity to meet our Small Business member Michael Ku, the owner and CEO of Dream Brands Partners, and the driving force behind the brand name “FRESH BURRITOS”, a vibrant new Mexican restaurant from France located in the heart of Gangnam.

Opened just six months ago, Fresh Burritos has already made a significant impact in the local food scene, offering freshly made burritos, tacos, bowls, salads and quesadillas. The restaurant prides itself on high-speed service, preparing up to 120 orders in under 90 minutes without compromising on quality. With its slogan “Born in Mexico and Raised in France,” Fresh Burritos blends authentic Mexican flavours with the assurance of fresh, high-quality ingredients inspired by French culinary standards.

Michael Ku brings over 20 years of experience in the food and beverage industry, including his tenure as COO of McDonald’s Korea and as a Subway licensee, where he successfully expanded the brand to 200 locations in Korea. His deep expertise is key to the rapid success of Fresh Burritos, which is set to open its second location in Bundang by Christmas Eve, with plans for a third restaurant soon after.

Looking ahead, Dream Brands Partners plans to franchise Fresh Burritos in early 2025, expanding the brand’s reach and offering exciting opportunities for entrepreneurs to join the Fresh Burritos family. Keep an eye out for this fast-growing brand in the near future!
