RestaurantChains.net presents a quarterly list of Top Ten Fastest Growing Concepts (began period with under 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.
