Company Information

Three Glenlake Parkway NE

Arby’s Franchisor, LLC is a limited liability company organized in Delaware on July 2, 2015. They have offered franchises for Arby’s Restaurants since November 2015. Their principal business address is Three Glenlake Parkway NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30328.

We grant franchises for, and some of our affiliates operate, restaurants featuring our deli-inspired sandwiches and related items that operate under our trademarks, service marks and tradenames (the “Trademarks”) and our system, all of which are may change periodically (“Arby’s Restaurants”). The Arby’s brand purpose is Inspiring Smiles Through Delicious Experiences®. Arby’s delivers on its purpose by celebrating the art of MeatcraftTM through a long history of menu innovation and quality products. In addition to its signature roast beef, the Arby’s Restaurant menu contains a variety of high-quality proteins including turkey, chicken, steak, bacon, ham, brisket, and corned beef that are crafted into innovative deli-inspired delicious sandwiches. Arby’s Restaurants also offer a number of craveable sides such as curly fries, shakes, turnovers, and other add-ons. Based on the vision of “deli-inspired delicious,” in 2014 Arby’s introduced new restaurant designs and layouts to both increase operational efficiencies and enhance the overall guest experience. Arby’s Restaurants also may offer breakfast items as an option from our approved menu. Arby’s Restaurants feature a distinctive style of limited service restaurant (“LSR”) that features Fast Crafted® service, a unique blend of quick service speed and value combined with the quality and made-for-you care of fast casual. We call the Arby’s Restaurant that you will operate under the License Agreement your “Restaurant.” This disclosure document contains information regarding the following 2 types of Arby’s Restaurants: (1) traditional full-menu, limited service Arby’s Restaurants, which could be in freestanding locations, convenience stores, travel plazas, truck stops, travel plaza/convenience store combos, end cap and inline locations, and malls (“Traditional Restaurants”), the vast majority of which include a drive-through window; and (2) limited menu, limited size and reduced service restaurants intended to meet consumer demand in locations that may not support a full menu and/or full size restaurant (“Non-Traditional Restaurants”). A Non-Traditional Restaurant generally occupies a smaller retail space, offers no or very limited seating and may cater to a captive audience, may have a limited menu and may possibly feature reduced services, labor, storage and different hours of operation. Non-Traditional Restaurant locations include airports, military bases, hospitals, toll plazas, stadiums, theme/amusement parks and arenas which have no seating or shared seating, casinos, colleges, universities, and other institutional facilities which have common area seating. Before signing the License Agreement, you must sign a Development Agreement (Exhibit C). If you will open only one Arby’s Restaurant, the Development Agreement covers the process for your constructing the Restaurant and the training we provide. If you will open multiple Arby’s Restaurants, then the Development Agreement will specify the number of Arby’s Restaurants you will develop over a specified period (the “Development Schedule”) and the territory within which you will develop them (the “Territory”). You will sign our then current form of License Agreement for each Arby’s Restaurant you develop in the Territory, which currently is the form of License Agreement in this disclosure document but could in the future differ from that form. However, if you fully comply with the Development Agreement, each License Agreement that the Development Agreement covers will reflect the royalty and license fee specified in the Development Agreement.

Summary of Investment Costs

Upfront Franchise Fees

Minimum: $12,500 Maximum: $56,300

Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.

These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.

While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.

Total Investment Costs

Minimum: $861,950 Maximum: $2,451,000

Ongoing Fees

Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.

These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.

Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
