What a difference a few years make. When founders Don Newcomb, Debra Bryson and Chris Newcomb (the team that also created and later sold McAlister’s Deli) sold a majority stake of fast-casual Newk’s Eatery to Sterling Capital Partners in early 2014, they’d grown the chain to 67 locations in 10 years. Two years later, with a pocketful of private equity cash, CEO Chris Newcomb has 109 stores open, plans for 125 locations by the end of 2016 and 200+ total units by 2018. Current areas of expansion for Newk’s include greater Atlanta, Orlando and Denver, the latter of which will become the westernmost outpost for the chain.
