History
Inspire Brands was formed when Arby's Restaurant Group merged with Buffalo Wild Wings on February 5, 2018. Buffalo Wild Wings also owned the Rusty Taco chain.[11][12] Arby's CEO Paul Brown was selected to continue as Inspire Brands CEO.[11] Brown expected that Inspire would acquire additional chains in different segments. He plans to structure the company similar to Hilton Hotels & Resorts.[13] Co-owner The Wendy's Company's stake was reduced from 18.5% to 12.3% due to the infusion of capital from Roark to fund the purchase.[14] In September 2018, Inspire had the 27-location R Taco reverted to the Rusty Taco name.[15]
On August 16, 2018, The Wendy's Company announced that it sold its 12.3% stake in Inspire Brands back to the company for $450 million, which included a 38% premium over the stake's most recent valuation.[9] On August 28, 2018, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal announced that Inspire was moving its headquarters to Sandy Springs, Georgia in 2019.[16]
Inspire Brands on September 25, 2018 announced that it was buying Oklahoma City-based Sonic Drive-In for $2.3 billion.[17] The acquisition was completed on December 7, 2018.[18]
Inspire Brands announced that it was buying Jimmy John's on September 25, 2019.[10][19] The deal closed on October 18.[20]
Inspire Brands on October 25, 2020 announced that it was buying Dunkin' Brands for $11.3 billion. [21][22] The deal was completed on December 15.[23]
Inspire received Franchise Times’ 2019 Dealmaker of the Year award for its acquisitions of Buffalo Wild Wings and Sonic Drive-In.[24]
