The U.S. fast casual industry will grow $65.2 billion to hit $149.96 billion by 2028. Trends driving that growth include the use of high-quality ingredients, locally sourced produce, fresh food, ethnic-inspired dishes, customization and the use of technology to enhance the customer experience.
These trends aren't new to most fast casual concepts, but there are many emerging brands embracing them with much success.
FastCasual's fifth annual report, "20 Brands to Watch," reveals some of those future leaders. To be considered, the brands, which nominated themselves, have at least one brick-and-mortar outlet and are under six years old.
We are honored to introduce the 2025 class of "20 Brands to Watch," and predict they will continue to help elevate the fast casual industry.
