There is a point when a restaurant concept steps onto a growth path. They may have one or two, or even a handful of locations open. But the shift into growth mode takes strategic thinking, a need to build awareness and often new infrastructure.
We want to highlight five under-the-radar restaurant concepts that are poised for new growth.
These concepts are all on a growth path, whether they are securing investor funding, laying out ambitious plans for new stores, franchising or expanding into new markets. They’re not big chains and they may never be. But they are worth watching as they take various approaches to new growth.
In this installment, we are highlighting out-of-the-box concepts like a New York City-based Detroit-style pizzeria, a build-your-own hot dog concept, a better-chicken chain, fusion tacos and an upscale coffee shop that promises no long lines.
Here are five growth concepts to watch.
