Since early 2014, reports have surfaced that the private equity owners of Cafe Rio, Inc. (KarpReilly LLC) had plans to take the freshly-made-from-scratch fast-casual Mexican concept public. The theory received a boost in 2015 when Steve Vaughan signed on as President and CFO, bringing along his Sonic Drive-Ins experience with publicly traded companies. Fast forward to October 2016, and Cafe Rio has just opened its 100th<\/sup> location. To get to store number 100, the Cafe Rio team opened 14 restaurants this year, the largest one-year total in the company\u2019s history. And they did it the hard way \u2013 all 100 locations are company owned. \u201cOver 100 locations\u201d has to sound better than \u201c94 locations\u201d to potential investors should the chain embark on an IPO. Time will tell.<\/p>\n
