New Owners For Flat Top Chain

BD’s Mongolian Grill wants a bigger share of the fast-growing Asian segment. In February, the Minneapolis-based company acquired the nine-unit Chicago chain Flat Top Grill.

Flat Top Grill was founded on Chicago’s north side in 1995 and serves create-your-own Asian fare. BD’s Mongolian Grill operates 11 locations in the U.S. and franchises 16; it also has a franchise outlet in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Terms of the deal haven’t been disclosed, but it was announced that both brands will maintain their names and concepts, while BD’s operations and marketing teams will support both concepts.
