What changes and expansion plans are currently in the works for US Beef?
In a phrase, we are in an accelerated growth mode. In December, 2015, we announced a new development agreement with our franchisor, Arby’s Restaurant Group (ARG) to build 70 new restaurants through 2022, including 40 new restaurants in the Denver, Grand Junction, Colorado Springs, and Boise, ID markets, which we acquired in December, 2013. We also have design plans on the table to remodel 123 of our restaurants through 2022. By the end of 2022, the US Beef footprint will total more than 400 Arby’s restaurants in nine contiguous Midwest and western states. What we’re really excited about is how this translates to a lot of career opportunities with our current and prospective colleagues. It’s a good time to be associated with US Beef.
