There are tons of restaurant chains across the US that everyone loves but we don't get the luxury of having here in Minnesota. Although, we also have some pretty great chains that not everyone gets elsewhere in the US.

However, that could change for some of those beloved chains. That's because they're fast-growing and are going to be making some moves across the US, including in Minnesota for some of them.

One of those chains that for sure is expanding more in Minnesota this year is Dave's Hot Chicken. They will be opening a location in Minneapolis and Rochester in May or June, so coming soon!

I haven't heard of the other chains having plans to come to Minnesota but with how fast they're expected to grow, never say never.

One of those is Burritobar. They are "Canada's fastest growing Mexican food franchise" according to Eat This, Not That! and the menu is described as Tex-Mex.

Another chain that could be coming to Minnesota is the fried chicken chain Bojangles. They started as just one location in Charlotte, NC 45 years ago and the rest is history!

One that really intrigues me is First Watch. They're a breakfast, brunch, and lunch spot (they serve cocktails too, don't worry) that started in the mid-80s. I love brunch, so I'm all for a brunch chain coming to Minnesota.

Plenty of Minnesota Chains Are Expanding this Year

There are plenty of chains we already have in Minnesota that are expected to explode this year, including Culver's! I would love to see Culver's takeover the US, they may just be my favorite fast-food chain.
