Roark Capital-owned global QSR chain with 37,000+ locations in 100+ countries; $9.55B 2023 acquisition with 4,000-unit China expansion deal competing with Jimmy John's and Jersey Mike's for quick-service sandwich market.
Subway is a Milford, Connecticut-based quick-service restaurant chain — privately owned since Roark Capital Group's acquisition completed in 2023 for approximately $9.55 billion, making it the largest franchise acquisition in restaurant history — operating 37,000+ locations in 100+ countries and serving customizable submarine sandwiches, salads, wraps, and breakfast items in a build-your-own-sub format that made Subway the world's largest restaurant chain by location count (though it has since been surpassed by McDonald's in some rankings). Founded in 1965 by Fred DeLuca and Peter Buck, Subway's Eat Fresh positioning, $5 Footlong era (2008-2012), and franchise-heavy model enabled global reach that few QSR brands have matched. In 2024, Subway added 1,000+ new global locations and signed a commitment for 4,000 units in mainland China over 20 years.
Value-positioned RTD iced tea from PepsiCo-Unilever joint venture; bold flavors at accessible prices in convenience stores competing with AriZona in mainstream tea.
Brisk is a functional beverage brand offering ready-to-drink iced tea and juice drinks, jointly owned by PepsiCo and Unilever under the Lipton brand partnership. Launched in the 1990s, Brisk positioned itself as a bold, value-priced iced tea targeting younger consumers who wanted flavorful, refreshing beverages at affordable prices — often sold in large cans and bottles that delivered more volume at lower per-ounce costs than premium tea brands. The brand's irreverent advertising featuring clay-animated celebrities became culturally memorable.
