As limited-service restaurants plan growth for 2017, QSR released their annual growth report- a list of the 40 hottest markets ripe for expansion in the segment according to some of the top brand executives in the industry.

Papa Murphy&#39;s has found success&nbsp;highlighting their brand differentiators to&nbsp;help the company&nbsp;grow in to new and growing markets.&nbsp;
