  1. Its becoming more and more difficult for one off concepts due to the investments needed to open. Rent has escalated at an astonishing rate over the last 2 years. Just 2 years ago you could get into a space at around $25 - $29 sq ft. Today those same spaces are now at $50 - $70 sq ft and that's the gross rent not including the NNN's. The larger restaurant groups/chains that have scale have also contributed to the rise in rent rates. This is why you're for the most part only seeing restaurants from out of the city i.e hopdoddy, shake shack, etc. These are huge players with deep deep pockets. If you look around you'll find smaller local restaurants struggling to keep pace with rent and labor increases. A lot of these restaurants arent advertised as struggling publicly but many are up for sale or attempting to have their spaces subleased out. Today's restaurant landscape is a day and night comparison from only a couple of years ago. Expect food prices to keep going up to combat the cost of doing business. Its a perfect storm; buyer habits have changed, cheaper groceries, a down economy combined with what I say is an over saturation of restaurants.
