In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Larry White, owner of 6-unit fast casual Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles, plus Brunch & Sip and Monroe’s Hot Chicken, all based in Phoenix. Larry talks about his aspirations for national growth and the challenges standing in his way, plus his process for recruiting people, how he’s crafting a unique experience that draws people from all across the country, and his plans for re-creating that experience in communities across America.

In this conversation, you’ll find out why: 

• Big ideas can come from meager beginnings
• If your menu keeps getting bigger, consider opening another concept
• When you grow, grow with people who share your passion and vision for your brand
• People are the biggest hurdle to growth today
• Destination restaurants have to appeal to tourists and locals alike
