Hot Head Burritos Opening this Month in Sidney The much anticipated opening of Hot Head Burritos is close at hand. Located in Sidney’s Kroger Plaza at 2028 Michigan Street, preparations have been under way for the last couple months to make the Sidney location a reality for franchisee Pam Sommer. “We’ve wanted to be in Sidney for a couple years,” says Sommer, “but we couldn’t find a good location.” Being no stranger to the restaurant business, Sommer and her husband operate four other Hot Head Burritos franchises and several Subway shops.

“I think we will be a great fit for Shelby County,” continues Sommer. The fast-casual restaurant will offer burritos, nachos, tacos, quesadillas, burrito bowls and kids meals ranging in price from $4.29 to $6.99. “We are unique,” says Sommer, “We are family friendly, offer a variety of toppings including 14 sauces from which to choose that allows for a lot of customization. We offer everything from mild to wild,” Sommer added.

With interior renovations nearly complete, the newest Hot Head Burrito restaurant will accommodate seating for 46 people. At present there are nearly fifty Hot Head Burritos locations operating in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina, Michigan and Florida.
