Chipotle Mexican Grill may have expanded American consumer’s drive for quality Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared burritos. However Ricker's convenience stores President Quinn Ricker operating 50 C-stores throughout central Indiana plans to take the fight for share of stomach to the streets.

Quinn Ricker stated "We saw the relevance of mobile food for on-the-go customers in our communities, but we didn't want it to be like fast food,"… "We developed a fresh, gourmet menu that is truly a great value." This month Ricker's Convenience Stores is hitting the road this month in its new ¡AhhBurritos! food truck.

Ricker’s  jAhhBurritos!  food truck will serve a high quality Ricker's Mexican breakfast and lunch offerings at various street locations throughout central Indiana, including at Anderson and Indianapolis Ricker's c-stores, according to the company.

Ricker's  Chef Brad Pyle will also be serving up four varieties of his homemade salsas: Classic Tomato, Black Bean & Corn, ¡AhhBurritos! Verde, and Red Hot Jalapeño extending flavoring differentiation.

The ¡AhhBurritos! Mobile truck is consumer interactive and participatory entertain customers by playing music through the truck's built-in speakers.
