Tenant Overview

In 2013, two years after Wendy’s had sold Arby’s to a private equity firm, Paul Brown, former president of Hilton Worldwide, was brought in to attempt a turnaround. Since he became CEO, the chain has grown same-store sales for 14 straight quarters. Top-line sales have jumped by 16% to $3.6 billion, and Arby’s restaurants now have average revenue of $1.1 million, 25% higher than before Brown arrived.

With just over 3,000 restaurants today, Arby’s is continuing its growth trend. 2016 was the first time since 2008 that the company ended the year with more stores than it started with. Arby’s declines to share its goal for 2017, but says that redesigning and opening new locations are top priorities. Over the long term, it thinks there’s enough consumer demand to have 6,000 total locations.

  • NNN lease eliminates landlord responsibilities
  • Typically Long term leases with increases
