Typical fast food concepts are being replaced with innovative approaches to quick, casual dining. This is reflective of young millennial consumers who have consistently demonstrated a preference for authenticity and health, both of which challenge
established QSR brands.
Present in this growing burger category are foliage-filled restaurants and healthy seasonal eateries. While some of these dining layouts and offerings are leading this shift, new, imaginative takes on sliders are on the horizon.
One of the most interesting aspects tied to these concepts is the relationship between classic and modern features. As burgers have been a historic favorite, food companies are now reinventing the favored meal that, based on these ventures, will continue to add to this already competitive market.
