Special
“hats off” consideration to Fish City Grill, The Greene Turtle, Foster’s
Grille and Native New Yorker-all with 10 units or more. These chains with
a family style of service have grown due to sound operational strength in
spite of today’s extraordinary tough landscape for casual restaurants.
Unit ranges (starting, growth and ending) reflect growth information that occurred four months prior to the "as of date" listed (each company has their own research date range). Overall research for this quarter concluded on March 20, 2008.
RestaurantChains.net presents a quarterly list of Top Ten Fastest Growing Concepts (began period with less than 50 units) displaying quarter-to-quarter recent growth captured during our re-verification process. Information is derived and calculated from the continual process of interviewing and verifying more than 7300 restaurant chain concepts.
Parameters considered:
· A restaurant chain or group with at least 3 units.
· A restaurant chain or group who began the period with fewer than 50 units.
· A restaurant chain or group who grew by at least 4 units.
· A restaurant chain or group that is a unique brand/concept, not a franchisee.
· A concept with growth within the U.S. or Canada.
· A restaurant chain or group with reliable information available regarding
unit counts and activity.
