About Us
Where We’ve Been and Where We’re Going
Formed in 2016, Aggressive Developments owns and operates McAlister’s Deli locations in Illinois and Iowa. Together, partners Jason Coalter and Matt Fox have built a fast-growing organization that offers a unique combination of opportunity and stability to our team. Over its nine years of operation, it has grown from a single restaurant in Fairview Heights, IL to a robust company with 18 locations. And we continue to grow.
2020 brought its share of challenges to the company. However, tough times don’t last – tough people do. We rose above those challenges with hard work, creativity and perseverance. Our restaurants gave back to their communities and helped those in need. We came through it with some battle scars, but none of our TEAm members lost salary or benefits. We call that a win.
Looking ahead, great things are on the horizon for Aggressive Developments. We will continue to grow, adding new restaurant locations each year. We will add to our TEAm. We will create delightful experiences for our guests. We will continue to build our communities and support the causes that make them strong. And we will invest in developing the greatest asset we have: our people.
Our future is bright. Just watch what we do.
