It celebrates their accomplishments in growth and sales, as well as their influence on menu innovation and trends.

“As a young leader in the fast casual space, Craveworthy Brands is incredibly honored to be recognized as a Top 100 ‘” Mover & Shaker,'” and I am extremely grateful to be acknowledged as a top executive as well,” said Majewski. “This truly reflects the dedication of our team, who have worked tirelessly to position us at the forefront of the sector. It also underscores Craveworthy’s commitment to innovation and the transformation of legacy and emerging brands into high-growth, high-performance restaurants in communities across the nation.”

Looking Ahead into Craveworthy’s Bright Future

The initial two quarters of 2024 marked significant, game-changing milestones for Craveworthy, highlighted by the recent announcements of acquiring artful Indian BBQ concept Sigri and Untamed Brands along with its brands, cult-favorite Hot Chicken Takeover and East Coast gem taim. Adding to this momentum, Perry Miele, the former President and CEO of Nestlé Professional, has joined Craveworthy Brands’ Board of Directors as an advisory member and stakeholder, contributing over 30 years of invaluable experience in the hospitality industry.

Craveworthy shows no signs of slowing its momentum towards national expansion, aiming for $1 billion in systemwide sales within approximately five years. The platform company intends to acquire additional brands and launch nearly 17 corporate locations and over 60 virtual restaurants throughout 2024. Seeking growth-oriented individuals, Craveworthy aims to work with franchise partners who are eager to collaborate with revitalized restaurant concepts.

“Being acknowledged by an industry leader like Fast Casual, not only highlights our goal to cultivate a portfolio of truly diverse, unique and turnkey brands but how we are quickly becoming a fan-favorite for guests and an unbeatable proposition for prospective franchise partners,” said Majewski.
