Grabba BowlThe customizable-bowl trend gained momentum in 2016, and Chain StoreGuide analysts expect exponential growth from the healthy/fresh vertical. Inthe wake of its recent IPO, Freshii will be under the gun to continuedelivering new-store openings and growing same-store sales. Grabbagreen,an Arizona-based concept, is another standout. With its homework completeand the development pipeline full, 2017-2018 will see the company doublestore counts and then double them again. Other concepts we particularly likefor growth are Sweetgreen and CoreLife, the latter of which, likeGrabbagreen, looks to double its footprint in its third year of operations.

Fast-Fired Pizza:The Matrix

Fast Casual FishSeafood is next in line for the fast-casual treatment,and poke will play a big role. Poke is a Hawaiian rawfish salad that, in its current form, lends itself to thebuild-your-own trend. Poke often consists of a ricebowl with seasoned sushi-grade raw fish, various vegtoppings and sauce.

Poke is ready to shed the “emerging” piece of its“emerging trend” label as the popularity of thefast-casual version of the dish reaches critical masson the West Coast and spreads. Also, not to beoverlooked are non-poke concepts like Slap Fish andMiami-based My Ceviche.

A Mediterranean MomentIt's been around for more than a minute, but Mediterranean is about to have its moment in the sun. Consumers looking forwhole foods and veg-centric dining options, the customization quotient and the enduring appeal of the grill have convergedto 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 in2018 as new-store openings are vital to growing the bottom line. The move by Verts (40%+ growth projected) last yearspeaks to the appeal of this space when it ditched the 'Kebap' from its name in favor of the on-trend 'Mediterranean Grill'moniker.

Fast-fired pizza is a thing -- one of the hottest trends in theindustry. Private equity (and Panda Express) money is, in part,fueling the growth, but the space is quickly becoming crowdedas concepts expand and late-comers look for a piece of the pie.

With almost every player in the space still touting new-storeopenings and triple-digit growth of some kind, Chain StoreGuide is helping clients and customers make better sense ofthe space. Given funding levels, financial performance and storegrowth (historical and projected), MOD, Blaze and Pieologyhave emerged as clear industry leaders.

On the other side of the coin, growth at Pizza Rev and Pie Five isstalling relative to the soaring levels of growth that have been thenorm for the segment, while Uncle Madio's suffered a net loss intotal stores in 2016 according to CSG research.

Although the competition is tough, CSG believes Rapid Fired Pizzaand Urban Bricks are two small chains to watch. Opening in 2015,both chains had a successful first year. Urban Bricks grew from 1 unitin 2015 to 8 units to close 2016, while Rapid Fired Pizza grew from 1unit to 10. Both have plans to grow beyond their local/regional basein the near term.
