Grabba Bowl

The customizable-bowl trend gained momentum in 2016, and Chain Store Guide analysts expect exponential growth from the healthy/fresh vertical. In the wake of its recent IPO, Freshii will be under the gun to continue delivering new-store openings and growing same-store sales. Grabbagreen, an -based concept, is another standout. With its homework complete and the development pipeline full, 2017-2018 will see the company double store counts and then double them again. Other concepts we particularly like for growth are Sweetgreen and CoreLife, the latter of which, like Grabbagreen, looks to double its footprint in its third year of operations.

A Mediterranean Moment

It's been around for more than a minute, but Mediterranean is about to have its moment in the sun. Consumers looking for whole foods and veg-centric dining options, the customization quotient and the enduring appeal of the grill have converged to create a Mediterranean fast-casual segment.

At the top of the stack, Cava Grill and Luna Grill are on pace for 40-50% unit growth in 2017 according to our projections (on top of 42- and 52-unit bases, respectively). NYSE-listed and category champion Zoe's Kitchen will have added 40+ units on its own when we close out 2017, and the company will be under pressure from investors to increase that number in 2018 as new-store openings are vital to growing the bottom line. The move by Verts (40%+ growth projected) last year speaks to the appeal of this space when it ditched the 'Kebap' from its name in favor of the on-trend 'Mediterranean Grill' moniker.
