Denver's slightly smaller burrito chain, with 12 restaurants, has attracted two major investment groups infusing enough capital into the business for it to open 25 new company-owned stores by the end of the year. Western Growth Capital LLC, a private firm in Denver, specializes in investing in emerging companies in the Rocky Mountain region, said Don Anderson, one of five partners in Western Growth. The other new Z-Teca investors are three heavyweights in the fast-food industry. They are: Martin Hart, a board member for Papa John's America, the pizza franchise company; Jack Laughery, former CEO of Hardee's; and Dan Carney, the founder of Pizza Hut.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Denver+Post&rft.atitle=Investors+Are+Pumping+Big+Bucks+Into+Big+Burritos%3A+Major+investment+groups+make+sure+Z-Teca+gets+lots+of+Z+capital&rft.pages=C-01&rft.date=1998-03-02&rft.aulast=Parker&rft.aufirst=Penny&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fnl.newsbank.com%2Fnl-search%2Fwe%2FArchives%3Fp_product%3DDP%26p_theme%3Ddp%26p_action%3Dsearch%26p_maxdocs%3D200%26p_topdoc%3D1%26p_text_direct-0%3D0EAF44CB16C4F60A%26p_field_direct-0%3Ddocument_id%26p_perpage%3D10%26p_sort%3DYMD_date%3AD%26s_trackval%3DGooglePM&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AQdoba" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-pn-1999dec13-18"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-pn-1999dec13_18-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-pn-1999dec13_18-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-pn-1999dec13_18-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222" /><cite class="citation pressrelease cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Z-TECA+Restaurant+Corporation+Names+CEO.-a058183857">"Z-TECA Restaurant Corporation Names CEO"</a>. <i><a href="/wiki/PR_Newswire" title="PR Newswire">PR Newswire</a></i> (Press release).

Q-Doba is a made-up name to amuse customers while keeping the chain of Mexican grill restaurants out of court. Z-Teca lost a federal trademark infringement case this summer in Spokane, Wash., to Azteca, a Seattle-based restaurant chain. The Azteca name was registered 10 years before 5-year-old Z-Teca registered its trademark. Z-Teca was forced to take its name down from its two Spokane restaurants, which now operate under the <i>No Name Mexican Grill</i> moniker. Z-Teca also was threatened with another lawsuit by Z'Tejas Grill, a seven-unit restaurant chain based in Scottsdale, Ariz... Z'Tejas' name was registered 12 years before Z-Teca... This is not the first time Z-Teca has changed its name. The first store, which opened near Grant Avenue and Speer Boulevard, was originally named Zuma. Zuma was the name of a cat that belonged to a roommate of the restaurant's co-founder, Tony Miller. But shortly after opening, they discovered there was a Zuma restaurant on the East Coast. The owner was not interested in selling the name... Q-Doba <i>means whatever we want,</i> Beisler said. <i>It's an empty vessel we can fill up with whatever we want.</i></q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Rocky+Mountain+News&rft.atitle=Z-teca+Changing+to+Q-doba+Restaurant+Chain%27s+Name+Was+Too+Similar+to+Those+Of+Longer-lived+Eateries&rft.pages=1B&rft.date=1999-12-15&rft.aulast=Berta&rft.aufirst=Dina&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fnl.newsbank.com%2Fnl-search%2Fwe%2FArchives%3Fp_product%3DRM%26p_theme%3Drm%26p_action%3Dsearch%26p_maxdocs%3D200%26p_topdoc%3D1%26p_text_direct-0%3D0EB4EED3F11E61F4%26p_field_direct-0%3Ddocument_id%26p_perpage%3D10%26p_sort%3DYMD_date%3AD%26s_trackval%3DGooglePM&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AQdoba" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-dbj-2003mar28-25"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-dbj-2003mar28_25-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222" /><cite class="citation news cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.bizjournals.com/denver/stories/2003/03/24/daily45.html">"Qdoba opening eight Ohio restaurants"</a>. <i><a href="/wiki/Denver_Business_Journal" class="mw-redirect" title="Denver Business Journal">Denver Business Journal</a></i>.
