Authentic Restaurant Brands wants to be national, but it’s going to get there by being regional across the country, CEO Alex Macedo tells Bloomberg Intelligence. In this episode of the Choppin’ It Up podcast, Macedo sits down with BI’s senior restaurant and foodservice analyst Michael Halen to discuss the company’s unique strategy of acquiring strong regional brands and helping them improve sales and profit instead of supercharging unit growth. He also comments on the M&A market and why it’s become increasingly difficult to scale up national brands in a cost-effective way.
