Consumer Behavior Drives What Makes a Fastest Growing Food Franchise

Note: Consumer behavior drives the success of emerging food franchise opportunities.

These numbers make sense when you think of consumer behavior, which totally includes our Dank Nation that we know and love. We have told you before that the average person in the U.S. spends 10% of their income on fast food, and that 85 million Americans eat fast food each day – to the tune of 4.5 billion tacos. And the kicker? There are 14 to 16 billion burritos sold across the globe in any given year.

How Attitude Determines Which Brands are the Fastest Growing Food Franchises

Alright, we’re about to get a little heady here, but there’s an important point to be made, so stick with us for a minute and keep reading. For sure, consumer behavior has a major impact on industries like ours, and many others as well. But there is a sub-segment of consumer behavior that is the Dankest thing we have ever learned about. It’s called attitude research, and a bunch of scientists study it as part of a cognitive approach to consumer behavior. I know, I know…hang tight because this is cool. We get that our attitude toward something moves us to take a certain action.

Like, if you aren’t a Dead Head you aren’t going to sell your car to be able to afford tickets to a Dead Head Revival Music Festival Weekend across the country. BUT…there is more to it than that, especially when it comes to FOOD. Our consumers eat at Dank Burrito because their attitude toward Dank is:

• The food is delish
• The space is dope
• We slay at serving fresh-to-death/high quality ingredients

But what drives us even more is our attitude toward what other people think about what, where, and why we are eating at a certain place. Let’s spell it out. Part of the reason we have a Dank Nation is because consumers care about what other people think of their choices. It kind of contributes to a sense of belonging. This is the epitome of our DANK NATION. Our Danksters have attitude — literally — down to a science! They come to us of course, because the food rocks, but also because it is cool to be a part of something bigger, to be recognized and identified for being part of something bigger. Dude – we’ve got shirts for that!

More Reasons Why the QSR industry is Rockin’

We humans are trippy, right? We behave in all kinds of ways for all kinds of reasons. But when it comes to eating and food, we keep evolving. So, in addition to attitude, consumers want:

• Convenience — consumers want to get in and out quickly with simplified operations
• Fresh, healthier ingredients that are also delicious (did someone say, “Flavor bomb?”)
• They like concepts with a digital game like online ordering and other expanding ordering options
• They care about where their ingredients come from – this is especially big with

Dank Burrito Has All That and More
