Cult-Favorite Fried Chicken Chain Acquired by Company That Owns Arby's, Subway
Cult-Favorite Fried Chicken Chain Acquired by Company That Owns Arby's, Subway originally appeared on Parade. Dave's Hot Chicken has officially been acquired by private equity firm Roark Capital for one very pretty penny. The deal comes about four months after rumors of the sale first began circulating and eight years after the popular restaurant first began serving up Nashville-style chicken as a pop-up in a Los Angeles, Calif. parking lot, as first reported by The Associated Press. Now, it hosts guests at 400 restaurants scattered across the globe and in major cities like Dubai, New York and Toronto. Roark Capital—which owns Inspire Brands (the parent company of Arby's, Baskin-Robbins, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dunkin', Jimmy Johns, and Sonic) as well as Auntie Anne's, Carvel, Cinnabon, Jamba, Moe's, Subway, among many other recognizable names—acquired the cult-favorite chain in a deal valued at $1 billion. Related:Pepsi Officially Acquires Cult-Favorite Soda Brand Before it was absorbed by the private equity firm specializing in franchised businesses, Dave's Hot Chicken was eyed by other celebrity investors, including rapper , who celebrates his Oct. 24 birthday with a hot chicken slider giveaway. The fried chicken joint's original leadership team isn't expected to shake up too much, as AP reported CEO Bill Phelps and the four childhood friends who founded the company will "continue to lead menu innovation, food quality, operations and marketing." "Our entire organization is excited about the fit between Dave's Hot Chicken and Roark," Phelps said in a statement shared with the outlet, adding that the brand is "looking forward to continuing to blow our guests' minds and unlocking growth and value for our franchise partners." In other related news, the fast-growing fast food chain has had much to celebrate in the first half of 2025, as it also opened several new restaurants in the U.S. and around the world in recent weeks, including locations in Bakersfield, Calif., Omaha, Neb., Sandy Springs, Ga., Springfield, Ore. and Pickering, Ont.

After closures, popular restaurant may be up for sale
As kids, summer not only signaled the end of the school year and a months-long break from homework, it also meant the yearly seasonal family vacation was about to begin. To many of us, that meant heading to the beach to tan and swim for multiple days until our backs turned red and our skin was as wrinkly as a raisin from being in the water too long. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter After hours in the sun, having family dinner at the closest restaurant chain was a must. It always involved a tropical-themed restaurant with American food and seafood, so the picky eaters wouldn't complain for the rest of the trip. For those who vacationed in Florida, Bahama Breeze was the go-to spot. This restaurant had everything from chicken fingers to coconut shrimp, and it was the only place our parents would let us get a Piña Colada - virgin, of course. Related: Iconic Mexican restaurant saved by major rival Bahama Breeze is owned by Darden Restaurants (DRI) , a restaurant owner and operator with over 2,100 locations spanning various known brands, including Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Yard House, and more. Although this company owns some of the most iconic American restaurant chains, it has been struggling with increased labor costs, growing competition, the potential impact of macroeconomic fluctuations, and ever-evolving consumer needs, which remain challenges in its overall business. However, the company revealed some unexpected news that caught many by surprise. Image Source: Shutterstock Bahama Breeze abruptly closed 15 locations across eight states in May due to underperformance, cutting its footprint by nearly 35%. The sudden shutdowns allowed Darden to reinvest and focus on the remaining high-performance restaurants to improve its overall business. However, the mass shutdowns still offset its growth, making Bahama Breeze's financial situation even more difficult. Related: Another fast-food burger chain is quietly closing locations Closing locations and shedding brands is not unusual for the company. Darden sold Red Lobster in 2014, which turned out to be a good decision, since the chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy under new ownership 10 years later. Recently, the company also signed a definitive agreement to sell eight Olive Garden restaurants in Canada. Bahama Breeze CEO Rick Cardenas revealed during the company's latest earnings call that it's considering strategic alternatives for the restaurant, since it no longer fits in its current portfolio of brands. These alternatives include the potential sale of Bahama Breeze or converting the locations into other brands that are far more profitable for the company. The company said it still believes Bahama Breeze has growth potential, but with another owner, which is why it will no longer invest in the brand.

"We also believe that this brand and these restaurants have the potential to benefit from a new owner. Consequently, we will be considering strategic alternatives for Bahama Breeze, including a potential sale of the brand or converting restaurants to other Darden brands." This shocking decision was made after the company reviewed each brand, which led to the development of a five-year plan in which Bahama Breeze no longer fit.

Bank of Mexico seen cutting key rate by 50 basis points next week
By Gabriel Burin and Noe Torres (Reuters) -Mexico's central bank is expected to cut its key interest rate by half a percentage point again in its announcement next week, although it would moderate the pace of monetary tightening going forward amid rising inflation and weak economic growth. According to a Reuters poll released on Friday, 21 of 26 economists expect the central bank to cut borrowing costs to 8%, from its current 8.5%, in what would be its fourth consecutive 50 basis point cut. Three participants expect Banxico, as the central bank is known, to take a more gradual approach by reducing interest rates by just 25 basis points, while the remaining two believe it will keep rates unchanged, following the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision this week to hold its benchmark interest rate steady. Banxico has said it is considering lowering the interbank rate again by 50 basis points in its June 26 announcement, extending a monetary readjustment cycle that began in 2024 after it raised its key interest rate to a record high of 11.25% as part of its efforts to tame inflation following the pandemic. But in May, the consumer price index exceeded the bank's official target of 3% interest rate plus or minus one percentage point, raising some doubts about whether the bank will follow through with such a significant rate reduction. Deputy Governor Jonathan Heath told Reuters last week that he believes 50 basis point cuts should be paused until the data can be evaluated further. A further 50 basis point cut would take Banxico's rate to its lowest level in three years, which could provide some relief to the weakening Mexican economy. But the majority of participants polled by Reuters said they believed the central bank should be more cautious in its next moves. Latin America's second-largest economy narrowly avoided a technical recession in the first quarter of the year, but still faces serious risks amid sluggish domestic activity and uncertainty related to U.S. tariff policies. Following next week's decision, Banxico could opt for a 25 basis point cut in its next announcement in August, according to 15 participants, possibly followed by a similar cut in September. A majority of the participants said they believed the third quarter could end with an interest rate at 7.5%.
