Mitchells & Butlers PLC & Butlers (M&B) is venturing into new territory with the launch of Orleans Smokehouse, a concept inspired by the spirit of New Orleans. This move positions M&B directly against competitor Greene King, particularly its Hickory's Smokehouse brand. With its promise of generous portions and authentic BBQ cooked over American smokers, Orleans Smokehouse aims to capture the essence of Southern cuisine. The timing of this launch, coinciding with the opening of a new Hickory's Smokehouse nearby, suggests a strategic move by M&B to compete head-to-head with Greene King. Despite being perceived as a latecomer by some, M&B is confident in its ability to carve out a niche in the BBQ restaurant market. This development marks an interesting shift in the pub and restaurant industry, with established players like M&B willing to take on competitors in new segments. It's a testament to the evolving tastes of consumers and the competitive landscape within the dining sector. As both brands vie for a share of the market, customers can expect an exciting showdown between two titans of Southern-style cuisine. #FoodIndustry #Competition #BBQBattle #mitchellsandbutlers #greeneking #RetailSavvy #SavvyInsights

To reach distinguished levels of success in the #restaurant and #hospitality industry, you need to define the niches that are going to have tailwinds in 5 years, not just today or tomorrow. And then you need to out-innovate and out-execute all comers in order to become category dominant. Few recall the companies that fell as McDonald's, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Starbucks, and Panera Bread (and now CAVA) ascended and came to define their respective niches. That’s what we do at Act III Holdings, LLC. We invest in niches first then help our companies be the dominant player in that category. We bet on Mediterranean with #Cava, and we’re betting on plant-forward food with Life Alive Café, upscale Mediterranean bakery cafes with Tatte Bakery & Cafe, and immersive entertainment with Level99 Entertainment.   Watch my discussion with David Westin on Bloomberg News TV for more insight on identifying niches and growing category-defining brands: https://lnkd.in/eFZgmBvd.   #FastCasual
