In 2018, our founders recognized an opportunity to transform the restaurant industry by bringing together distinct yet complementary brands under one umbrella. They realized that great iconic brands could achieve even greater impact when supported by shared technology platforms, resources, and collective scale. So they created Inspire Brands - a multi-brand restaurant company designed to invigorate great brands and supercharge their long-term growth.
What started with Arby's acquisition of Buffalo Wild Wings has rapidly evolved into one of the largest restaurant companies in the world. Through strategic acquisitions including SONIC Drive-In in 2018, Jimmy John's in 2019, and Dunkin' Brands in 2020, Inspire has assembled a portfolio of more than 33,000 restaurants across nearly 60 global markets. Supported by approximately 650,000 company and franchise team members, our brands achieved over $32.6 billion in global system sales in 2024. We're tightly integrated around extensible, technology-enabled platforms that enable each brand to benefit from the collective strength of the enterprise. At Inspire, we're building a purpose-driven organization committed to igniting and nourishing flavorful experiences for millions of guests around the world.
