This restaurant chain, this restaurant chain, and this restaurant chain, and all the others you see here in the screen are owned by a single private equity firm. That firm, Inspire Brands, is owned by an even larger private equity firm called Roarke Capital, which owns all of these fast food chains and all these American businesses. Inspire Rank is using the private equity playbook to file for an IPO no they can raise capital to pay off the debt that they've loaded these restaurant chains with after acquiring them. These headlines are a perfect reminder for next time you wanna eat out to try a from scratch restaurant that sources from local and regional growers and to help you find these places. I map over 2,000 farm to table restaurants across the country on my free farm to table restaurant map.
