It’s no surprise that the fastest-growing brand by sales growth in 2023, according to the Technomic Top 500, was a coffee chain (7 Brew). But the fact that the second-fastest is a casual concept serving Korean barbecue and hot pot has certainly turned some heads.
Even more impressive is the fact that KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot had only three units open at the end of 2020, but boasted 55 at the end of 2023, with sales of roughly $300 million.
