New restaurants

As Costa Rican brewers look to carve out their place in the expanding craft beer market, trademark issues are a constant battle.

Costa Rica-based QSR International, a fast food franchise developer, confirmed it will invest $2.5 million in opening new locations in the region this year.

For Jones, Tuesday was a special occasion: She recently became co-owner of Maradentro, a brand-new Mediterranean tapas bar in Escazú, along with chef and business partner Gabriel Rafaelli. Jones is the titular president of C. Jones & Co. Blackbook Business Development, where she develops brands for a variety of high-end clients. Yet Jones is now investing in her own establishment for the first time.

Local franchisee has already invested some $2 million in seven new locations.

New restaurant is located at Lincoln Plaza mall in San José.

The franchisee also won a contract to do business in the food court at Juan Santamaría International Airport in San José.
