Salsa’s Fresh Mex Grill has teamed up with Melbourne radio station Mix101.1 to give one lucky winner their very own store in Richmond, Melbourne.   

Interested applicants can enter individually or as a pair with their business partner, family member or work colleague.

The brand’s general manager Jake Spencer said this is not an opportunity that comes along every day. 

“Handing over the keys to a successful small business is a huge undertaking for us, and for the winner of the competition. 

“We’re putting our trust in someone to be responsible for running a Salsa’s in a busy, inner city location,” he said.

Judges will go through each entry with a fine toothed comb to arrive at a list of finalists, who will be required to attend a Salsa’s camp on 23 and 24 November.

Over the course of the weekend they will learn how to run a Salsa’s store and undergo a rigorous interview process.

“We’re looking for someone who really wants a new start in life. Someone motivated, energetic and hungry for success. And someone who is infatuated with Mexican food,” said Spencer.

If you are interested in becoming a Salsa’s Fresh Mex franchisee, visit the mix1011 website and complete a registration form to enter.

The winner will be announced on 29 November by Mix101.1’s breakfast hosts, Chrissie Swan and Jane Hall at a live broadcast from the Bridge Road, Richmond store.
