Tyler Has All 5 Of The Fastest Growing Fast Food Chains In America; Longview Has 4 Of Them

Lucky Larry, Mix 93-1

With all the restaurants in Tyler and Longview, you could say that we are 'eat out' kind of towns! The two biggest cities in East Texas definitely do not have a shortage of restaurants or selection of food when it comes to restaurants, whether fast food, casual or fine dining.

When you take a look at the top 5 fastest growing chain restaurants in America, Tyler has all five of them while Longview has four of the five. This means that East Texas is right on track with the nation by having the latest in dining out options! Nation's Restaurant News released the June report saying chicken is among the fastest growing segment within the fast food market. Fast food joints that have a focus on chicken took home four of the top ten spots followed by a couple of pizza chains, a casual dining outlet, sandwich shop, specialty flavor and beverage shop.

Of the top 100 fastest growing food chains in America, here are the top five (all of which are in Tyler):

Taking a look at numbers six through ten:

6. Dave & Busters - we would love to have this chain call Tyler and Longview home - there are plenty of large buildings unoccupied that could easily house restaurant and game room

7. Panda Express - already in Tyler and Longview

8. Zaxby's - another fast chicken joint, Tyler nor Longview has one of these

9. Starbuck's Coffee - well, there's a lot of these in East Texas, but this chain continues to grow

10. Domino's Pizza - we've got a lot of these as well and they're apparently expanding still

Looking at this list of the fastest growing chain restaurants, East Texans are definitely helping these joints grow!
