The 40/40 List launched in 2017 as a way to identify the quick serves and fast casuals that have the best shot at becoming the next big thing—the rising stars of the restaurant industry. Starting over each year with a new set of 40 brands, we've highlighted 200 concepts that we think have got what it takes to become the next Chipotle or Shake Shack.
For our fifth edition of the 40/40 List, we'll be sharing interviews all month on the Fast Forward feed with founders and leaders at several of this year's 40/40 brands. Next up are Dan Leyva and Tyler Shine of Wings Over, a New York–based franchise. Leyva and Shine discuss the ways they'd repositioned the brand since their ownership group took over in October 2017, how Wings Over has rolled with the punches during the COVID crisis, and why they're not worried about the crush of wings brands that have flooded the space during the pandemic.
