Companies Arby's Holds Stakes In: An Overview of Its Affiliated Brands

Arby's, the popular fast-food chain known for its quality roast beef sandwiches and signature Jamocha shakes, is owned by Inspire Brands - a private company owned by the Atlanta-based private equity firm Roark Capital Group.

Inspire Brands is not just the home of Arby's, but also manages a diverse portfolio of other restaurant brands. These include Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic Drive-In, Jimmy John’s, Rusty Taco (formerly Rusty Taco), Dunkin' and Baskin-Robbins (acquired in 2020-2021). With over 31,600 restaurants worldwide under these brands, Inspire Brands is one of the world's largest restaurant companies.

Arby's revenue primarily comes from the operation of company-owned restaurants, franchise fees, and royalties collected from franchised locations. The franchising of Arby's contributes significantly to its overall financial portfolio. The chain positions itself distinctly in the fast-food industry, offering quick-service without compromising on quality, and competing with fast-casual chains like Panera and Moe's Southwest Grill.

Arby's does not own Cheesecake Factory, Taco Bell, or Subway, but it does leverage its licensing infrastructure to promote consumer packaged goods, enhancing brand visibility and customer engagement outside the restaurant space.

The Arby's Foundation, a charitable arm of the company, partners with organisations across the country to fulfil its goals. It prides itself on youth development and innovative solutions to end childhood hunger. Arby's has a commitment to giving back to the community through various initiatives led by the Arby's Foundation. The Foundation addresses corporate responsibility with a clear focus on engagement and respect for both individuals and organisations they work with.

Arby's also utilises loyalty programs to provide value to their regular customers, incentivizing repeat visits and sustained patronage. As a subsidiary of Inspire Brands, Arby's benefits from the expertise in financial strategies provided by the parent company, and has strategic marketing campaigns and menu innovations that boost sales and increase revenue.

However, as a private entity under Inspire Brands, Arby's debt levels are not publicly disclosed.

In summary, Arby's, under the umbrella of Inspire Brands, continues to expand its presence in the fast-food industry, offering quality food, engaging with customers through various initiatives, and contributing to community development through its charitable arm, the Arby's Foundation.
