Taco Mac

Taco Mac is a chain of sports bars based in Atlanta, Georgia. It was founded in 1979 by Greg Wakeham and others, with the chain's original location being in Atlanta's Virginia Highlands neighborhood; this location is still open as of 2023. In 2000, Bob Campbell, Joe Ardagna, and Greg Wakeham established Tappan Street Restaurant Group, who expanded the chain to 25 locations in 3 states. In late 2014, Tappan Street was sold to the Dallas, Texas-based private equity firm CIC Partners. In March 2018, CIC Partners sold Taco Mac to the investor group Fresh Hospitality, whose CEO, Harold Martin Jr., then became the chain's CEO.
