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.
Unit ranges (starting, growth and ending) reflect growth information that occurred four months prior to the "research ending" listed (each company has their own research date range). Overall research for this quarter concluded on June 20, 2010.
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 3 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.
This quarter’s Top Ten list reveals 4 repeat concept leaders (Concepts that have been on previous Top Ten lists).
Repeat concept leaders:
1) CAFE RIO
2) HAPPY'S PIZZA
3) VAPIANO
4) SMASHBURGER
Readers should know that unit counts and percentages are not annualized and relate only to recent net growth. Companies on the list are chosen without opinion and are a result of academic research.
