Top Bar and Grill Franchise Opportunities of 2022
Restaurant franchises are poised for a big comeback in 2022, so we’ve rounded up 10 of the most exciting Bar & Grill franchise opportunities for the year.
For the millions of Americans quitting their jobs in search of a better work-life balance, increased autonomy and greater opportunity, franchises present a compelling option. Some of the benefits of owning a franchise include a built-in customer base, instant brand recognition, no experience necessary to get started and generous franchisor support and training. The franchising industry is poised for a big year in 2022, but there is one sector that is not getting much attention but may have tremendous potential.
Data from Chicago-based market research firm Datassential forecasts that consumers will spend $771 billion in restaurants in 2022 — an increase from the $608 billion spent in 2020 and the $701.4 billion in 2021. This suggests that restaurant franchises could be in store for a big year in 2022.
Many of us grew up near a local bar and grill that was a community staple. Some have exploded into national brands. Others are still small-town haunts that are rapidly expanding. One thing they all have in common is that they represent opportunities for potential franchisees.
These are some of our favorite Bar & Grill franchises for 2022.
