Newsome acknowledged the opening has taken longer than expected, but was excited to finally be open and serving the people of Scioto County.

Since opening Newsome said the response has been positive and the staff has kept busy.

Newsome described the food offered at Hot Head Burritos as fast Mexican.

“I’m in the Subway business, I have three locations and I was looking to grow. I knew being in the quick casual food business that, this was a growing segment, nationwide,” Newsome said. “We’ve had our growth with the pizza industry, burgers and things like that. This segment of the food business is really growing.”
