Founded in 2003, this Southern California-based sandwich chain is known for its house-made focaccia, salads, bowls and soup of the day. With more than 30 units, Urbane Cafe has been growing at a slow-but-steady clip, with help from investors like the founders of Panda Express, moving most recently into the Las Vegas market, the first outside California. President and CEO Tom Holt is hoping to reach 100 restaurants by 2030, and the brand recently began testing the addition of breakfast.
