While pumpkin spice may have reached its peak, there is no doubt that the flavor will be sticking around. According to a&nbsp;<a href="http://bit.ly/2xTwEge?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fast-casual-some-fast-casuals-still-pumped-for-pumpkin-others-heating-things-up-part-2-2704276" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">recent article</a>&nbsp;in Fast Casual, pumpkin flavored dishes bring in $500 million annually for the industry. In addition to this flavor, consumers will be embracing bold and spicy flavors.

&quot;Because pumpkin spice has&nbsp;become so ubiquitous across the industry, Americans are now looking for newer, more flavorful offerings. There are new fall flavors on the horizon, and they all seem to be related to &#39;kickin it up a notch&#39;,&quot; said&nbsp;NPD Group&#39;s Warren Solocheck.&nbsp;

A few brands that will be embracing&nbsp;pumpkin this fall include <a href="https://slimchickensfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fast-casual-some-fast-casuals-still-pumped-for-pumpkin-others-heating-things-up-part-2-2704276" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Slim Chickens</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wetzels.com/franchise?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fast-casual-some-fast-casuals-still-pumped-for-pumpkin-others-heating-things-up-part-2-2704276" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wetzel&#39;s Pretzels</a>, <a href="http://gigiscupcakesfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fast-casual-some-fast-casuals-still-pumped-for-pumpkin-others-heating-things-up-part-2-2704276" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gigi&#39;s Cupcakes</a> and <a href="http://www.villarestaurantgroup.com/domestic?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fast-casual-some-fast-casuals-still-pumped-for-pumpkin-others-heating-things-up-part-2-2704276" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Villa&#39;s Italian Kitchen</a>.
