Fast casual riding high despite recession

September 13, 2009

Sales in the fast casual segment are projected to top $20 billion this year, according to a story in the Dallas Morning News. That's a gain of 25 percent.
 
According to the story:
Many experts say that fast casual's gains have come at the expense of well-established restaurant segments as consumers trade down from casual dining or outgrow fast food.
 
Blake Bernet, senior vice president and general counsel for Corner Bakery, said the migration of consumers from casual dining has accelerated over the last three to five years.
