About Paul Barron
Since founding trend setting websites Fastcasual.com and QSRweb.com in the mid 90's my passion for media and technology and how it intersects with business has been a vision that has finally come to reality.  Business today must address the sweeping changes that are upon us, it's not just about social media but instead about the transformation of how business will do everything from marketing to customer service to research.  I have spent the last 18 years building successful online businesses, building creative content networks, global events and even uncovering emerging trends that have turned into a 20 billion business segment.  My passion is about results and how we can use these new age techniques to move our business into the future.

[BREAKING] Fifth Annual Fast Casual Top 100 Movers & Shakers

DateMonday, February 22, 2010 at 2:45PM

Today we released our 5th Annual Fast Casual Top 100 Movers and Shakers list.  I wanted to personally congratulate the top 10.  As you can imagine we toiled over this project for several months with our industry experts.  After compiling mountains of data, a flurry of secret and special conference calls and much heated but constructive discussion, we reached the result of what is this years coveted Top 100 list.

A special thanks goes to Darren Tristano of Technomic, Janelle Barlow of Branded Service and our three fantastic editors starting with Valerie Killifer of Fastcasual.com, Christa Hoyland of QSRweb.com and Jennifer Litz of PizzaMarketplace.com.   They deserve a great amount of appreciation for their hard work and dedication to the Fast Casual segment!

Congratulations goes out to our Top 10:

  1. Mooyah Burgers & Fries - Dallas
  2. Genghis Grill - Dallas
  3. Beautiful Brands - Tulsa
  4. Pizza Fusion - Fort Lauderdale
  5. Rubio's - San Diego
  6. Firehouse Subs - Jacksonville
  7. Au Bon Pain - Boston
  8. Einstein Bagels - Lakewood Co
  9. Zoup! - Detroit
  10. Fast Casual Alliance - Washington DC (Now part of the NRA)

The list is filled with awesome concepts and new segment leaders.  We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed working on this amazing list for our Fifth Annual!  Download the list here!
