In addition to its corporate and franchising store expansion plans, Pincho Factory, Miami’s own fast-casual success story, has announced its growth in its food & beverage partnership with AmericanAirlines Arena.
The team behind Pincho — cousins and business partners Nedal Ahmad, Otto Othman and Nizar Ahmad — will be doubling their sports arena presence, serving their Miami favorites burgers and kebabs at a second outlet located at section 120 on the 100 level inside the popular arena.
“Once again, we are extremely excited to work with our amazing home team and to serve our fellow Heat fans at the games,” said Nedal Ahmad, Pincho Factory’s CEO and co-founder. “Our outposts offer all of our unique menu items featuring our signature burgers and kebabs including: Tostón Burger, Pincho Burger, Salad Bowls, and Sweet Potato Tater Tots, so Heat fans should come to the games hungry.”
The additional AmericanAirlines Arena outpost is a part of the many expansion plans the Pincho Factory team has in the works. In 2016, the brand opened a third corporate store in Hialeah, a forth in Pinecrest and its first Central Florida location in Dr. Phillips near Orlando. NFL star Jonathan Vilma, a longtime fan of the brand, has signed a five-store deal with the first location slated to open in Brickell in late 2016.
The Miami Heat 2016-17 regular season schedule consists of 41 home games at AmericanAirlines Arena and runs from Oct. 26 (season opener) through Apr. 12. Pincho Factory’s first outpost at the AmericanAirlines Arena launched for the 2015-16 season.
