Ancho & Agave: Modern Mexican Experience for High-Volume Lifestyle Centers Ancho & Agave is a "flavor-obsessed" casual dining concept born from the expertise of Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano founder, Todd Hovenden. Positioning itself as a vibrant anchor tenant for National Expansion, the brand blends a contemporary Mexican menu with a high-energy atmosphere featuring "Mexican standbys" like tacos, fajitas, and fresh margaritas. Designed for lifestyle centers and high-traffic retail corridors, their real estate strategy focuses on converting second-generation restaurant spaces (e.g., former Red Robin, Houlihan's) into modern destinations with high ceilings, large windows, and extensive outdoor patios. With a proven footprint in the Midwest (IL, NE, MO) and active Tenant Representation relationships, Ancho & Agave seeks 7,500+ SF opportunities to deliver their "side of fun" to affluent suburban markets.
