Tampa, FL – Chain Store Guide has published its 2011 2nd Annual Fastest Growing Restaurant Operators Report.
The focus for 2011 is on slightly larger companies (at least 50 locations at the time of last update) and their growth over a three-year time span, reflecting the strength of their concepts during the heart of the recession. Which Wich and Five Guys made the list this year as well, but it also includes eight other vibrant operations.
The list includes only original concepts, and thus excludes franchisees.
The top 10 is dominated by companies that offer 'affordable luxuries.' Premium burgers and gourmet yogurt restaurant operators account for half of the top 10. Sandwiches are represented as are Buffalo-style chicken wings. Nowhere on the list are companies primarily offering pizza, cheap hamburgers, fried chicken, tacos, or classic American food.
"In this economy, it's vital to know what's working for businesses, and working well," said Carmen Vasquez-Perez, Chain Store Guide's Sales and Marketing Director.
"Business owners want to look at current trends to keep their business plan healthy; and we have our finger on the pulse of the foodservice industry."
The release of the 2nd Annual Fastest Growing Restaurant Operators Report comes as a result of Chain Store Guide's longevity and excellent relationship with the foodservice industry.
Chain Store Guide offers other product lines in the foodservice industry; online market segments include Foodservice Distributors, HVIR, Grocery and Convenience Stores, Single Unit Supermarkets, and Wholesale Grocers.
