Most restaurant holding companies grow by blowing out a popular concept and then acquiring concepts to add to the mix.

My guest this week has taken this model, spiced it up with a little bit Carolina BBQ expertise and flipped that model on it\u2019s head, offering his franchisee\u2019s access to multiple concepts.

In episode #024 of the Social Restaurant Podcast, I talk with Brian Bailey, CEO of Ichor Restaurant group, a rapidly growing Canton, Ohio-based fast casual franchise that has built an interesting model to allow franchisees to open up multiple restaurants in the same town \u2013 all under different brand names and flavor profiles.

Brian brings all kinds of energy and enthusiasm to this week\u2019s show and is not only a restaurant innovator, but also an award winning BBQ expert who\u2019s skills have been honed in the pits.
