The Wolf's Take 🍟
Alright, let's talk about Beef-A-Roo. This brand has serious midwestern roots, a legacy menu (slow-roasted beef, iconic cheddar fries, and milkshakes that actually matter), and now they’re pairing it with a scalable franchise system built for national expansion.
With flexible formats, including drive-thru and end-cap options, and a relatively approachable investment range ($795K–$1.5M), it's positioning itself as a strong contender in the fast casual category.
Plus, the addition of a subscription-based revenue stream is a smart move for predictable income.
This isn’t just nostalgia, it’s well-packaged opportunity just retro enough to stand out in a sea of generic burger chains.
This tweet from Jon Baker had me thinking about the many examples of big companies fumbling big opportunities. It goes to show how important having the right people in the room can be.
Other notable examples of big companies missing the mark on big trends includes:
Blockbuster vs. digital streaming
Nokia vs. smartphones and touch screens
Yahoo ignoring multiple chances to buy Google
I think legacy automakers could potentially be making this mistake with EVs. Time will tell!
