About one in eight Americans $4 on any given day. And an increasing number of them are ditching legacy brands like Domino's and Pizza Hut $4.
$4 is one of them. Founded by a former Starbucks executive in 2008, the chain more than doubled in size over the past year. In 2015, Technomic>$4 named MOD the fastest growing chain in the restaurant business,with its sales increasing a whopping 220% during the year.
