Qdoba Franchisee The Integritty Group Defaults on $20 Million Loan
The Pennsylvania-based Qdoba franchisee, The Integritty Group (TIG), has defaulted on a $20 million loan obtained in April 2025. Bank Midwest filed a lawsuit against TIG and related entities operating under the Queso Time brand across multiple states for breaching loan terms due to liquidity issues and failure to disclose financial problems. The bank is seeking a receiver to manage and sell 41 locations to recover $18.3 million in outstanding debt, which includes unpaid rent, sales taxes, and delivery fees from DoorDash. Despite an offer of emergency funding, TIG did not complete the necessary paperwork to access it. Qdoba has stated that it is not involved with the legal action. TIG also operates restaurants for Dave's Hot Chicken, Checkers, and The Greene Turtle. Previously aiming to expand its Qdoba locations significantly by 2030, TIG’s website is currently offline.
