How Shrek Grilled Chipotle and Friends About Sales and Value Meals

Big Money for Big Eats

Well well well it looks like the high rollers are flocking to Chipotle Wingstop and Sweetgreen like they're Swamp Onion specials! While other eateries are struggling these top tier chains are raking in the dough from those with pockets deeper than my layers.

Value is Ogre Rated

Seems like folks are ditching the Golden Arches and the 'Bucks for a more upscale nosh. Even the Donkey would agree that fast casual joints are where it's at. And hey who wouldn't want to splurge a few extra coins on a quinoa bowl or a gourmet wrap right?

Grill or Be Grilled

Chipotle Wingstop and Sweetgreen are all sizzling with success while McDonald's KFC and Starbucks are left out in the cold like Farquaad after a dunk in the moat. I guess when it comes to food customers are saying 'This is my swamp!'

Investors are Seeing Green

Looks like investors are banking on fast casual chains like Chipotle Shake Shack and Wingstop to keep the gold flowing faster than a cat with a hairball. Their stocks are shooting up like an arrow through a dragon's heart!

Weather or Not Sales are Hot

Not everyone's riding the gravy train though. Portillo's and Shake Shack are blaming bad weather for their slumping sales. Maybe they need a little sprinkle of fairy dust to bring back the customers eh?

Mediterranean Mayhem

Cava's yet to show its hand but if the competition's anything to go by they might just be cooking up a storm. Let's hope they don't end up in a pickle like Lord Farquaad!
