More Than a Location.

A restaurant does not become a national brand through real estate alone. It takes the right concept, the right operating model, the right partners, the right capital, and a reason for customers and communities to care.

Brand and Concept Development

Positioning, naming, menu direction, customer strategy, and scalable concept development.

Celebrity and Athlete Partnerships

Authentic talent alignment, investment participation, brand storytelling, appearances, and cultural amplification.

Operations and Expansion

Compact footprints, automation, operating systems, development partners, rollout planning, and repeatable execution.

Nontraditional Real Estate

Retail stores, campuses, airports, hospitals, stadiums, travel centers, military installations, and other high-traffic environments.

Capital and Strategic Investors

Funding strategy, investor positioning, strategic introductions, and growth-aligned capital relationships.

Community and Retail Activations

Openings, signings, youth initiatives, neighborhood partnerships, local events, charitable programs, and ongoing engagement.

Flagship Project

Wing Riot: Building a New Kind of Chicken Platform

Big Bites Group is leading the expansion strategy for Wing Riot, a celebrity- and athlete-backed chicken concept developed in collaboration with Super Bowl champion Von Miller. The platform incorporates Von Miller’s Greener Pastures initiative and its focus on premium, responsibly sourced chicken, cleaner ingredients, and operational innovation.
