Why Big Bites Exists
Restaurant growth is often fragmented. A founder may have a compelling concept but no path into national retail. A retailer may have high-traffic space but no differentiated food partner. An athlete may want to build a meaningful brand but lack the operating infrastructure. An investor may see an opportunity but need the right team to execute it. Big Bites exists to connect those pieces.
Our Mission & Principles
We build brands that perform commercially and matter culturally. Our mission is to develop and expand restaurant and consumer platforms that create value for customers, founders, retailers, investors, partners, and local communities.
Build for the Customer
Every concept is evaluated through a commercial lens to ensure it solves a meaningful need and operates efficiently in high-traffic environments.
Protect the Economics
Our role is not simply to make introductions. We help define the opportunity, align the right participants, and create a path toward execution.
Create Authentic Relevance
We treat community as part of the model, creating programming that turns restaurant locations into meaningful community touchpoints.
Respect the Operator
We treat operational execution as the foundation of growth, working with experienced operators to help concepts prepare for disciplined growth.
Match the Right Partners
We connect the entire growth ecosystem, bringing together brands, operators, locations, celebrity partners, investors, and communities.
Earn Community Trust
From restaurant opening to community platform, we create ongoing relevance through authentic partnerships and charitable initiatives.
THE POWER OF NONTRADITIONAL REAL ESTATE
Go Where the Customers Already Are.
The Best Restaurant Location May Not Be a Restaurant Location.
Traditional restaurant expansion often begins with a search for visibility, traffic and customer demand. Nontraditional locations begin with those advantages already built in.
$2.3 MILLION IN ANNUAL SALES
A restaurant concept that began in a compact, approximately 200-square-foot location in a Home Depot parking lot expanded to a second restaurant and generated a combined $2.3 million in sales in 2025.
The success of concepts operating in unexpected locations demonstrates what can happen when a strong product is paired with built-in traffic, convenience and a clearly defined customer base.
Reported by CNBC Make It, April 2026.
National retailers, airports, campuses, entertainment venues and other high-traffic destinations bring established customer flow, recognizable surroundings and recurring daily demand. By placing the right food concept inside or alongside these environments, Big Bites helps brands become part of an existing customer journey rather than waiting for customers to discover a new standalone restaurant.
This is more than an alternative real estate strategy. It is a more connected approach to restaurant growth—combining food, convenience, retail traffic, cultural relevance and community engagement within one scalable platform.
Major restaurant brands are increasingly pursuing growth within Home Depot locations, Bass Pro Shops, airports, hotels, military installations, universities, travel centers and other high-volume environments.

Built-In Customer Traffic
Nontraditional destinations already attract customers for another primary purpose. Restaurants benefit from becoming part of an established trip rather than relying entirely on standalone destination traffic.
Greater Convenience
Customers can purchase a meal while shopping, traveling, working, attending an event or completing everyday errands. The restaurant meets customers where they already are.
Lower Customer-Acquisition Friction
Retail partners and destination operators already have established audiences, physical visibility and communication channels. The right partnership can give restaurant brands immediate exposure to a large customer base.
Compact, Efficient Formats
Nontraditional restaurants can be designed for smaller footprints, focused menus, streamlined labor, robotic kitchen technology, faster throughput and efficient off-premise service.
Repeatable National Expansion
One successful partnership can create access to multiple locations within the same retail or venue network, making expansion more coordinated and potentially more scalable than negotiating individual standalone sites.
A Better Customer Experience
Food and beverage can increase dwell time, improve convenience and transform a functional retail trip into a more enjoyable experience—creating value for the restaurant, the host location and the customer.
Big Bites Turns Foot Traffic Into Brand Momentum.
Securing a location is only the beginning.
Big Bites brings together restaurant development, national retail relationships, celebrity and athlete partnerships, strategic investment, operating expertise, technology and local community engagement to create concepts designed specifically for nontraditional environments.
We evaluate the customer, the location, the operating footprint and the cultural opportunity. We then help build the concept, partnership structure, menu, operating model and launch strategy required to turn an available space into a scalable destination.

Not Just a Restaurant. A Reason to Return.
Big Bites does not simply place food concepts inside high-traffic locations. We build culturally relevant experiences around them.
Through athlete and celebrity appearances, in-store signings, grand-opening events, charitable partnerships, local sports programs, neighborhood outreach and ongoing brand activations, each restaurant can become a platform for deeper community connection.
The goal is to create more than a convenient meal. It is to create energy, relevance and repeat visitation around the host destination.
Nontraditional growth works when the concept, customer, location and operating model are designed to support one another.
Big Bites brings those pieces together—helping restaurant brands enter high-traffic environments and helping retailers transform underutilized space into memorable, revenue-generating customer experiences.
