Diversified Restaurant Group, LLC

Diversified Restaurant Group, LLC (DRG) is a prominent operator of quick-service restaurants (QSRs) in the United States, specializing in managing Taco Bell and Arby's franchises. Established in 2012, DRG has expanded its portfolio to over 360 restaurants across multiple states.

These states include Nevada, California, Kansas, Missouri, and Alaska. The company's journey began when founders David Grieve and SG Ellison acquired 85 Taco Bell locations on the West Coast in 2014.

Their commitment to innovation and excellence has propelled DRG to become one of the largest Taco Bell franchisees in the nation.

In 2023, DRG demonstrated remarkable growth by adding 33 new Taco Bell restaurants to its portfolio through strategic acquisitions and opening eight new stores.

This expansion solidified DRG's position among the top 10 largest Taco Bell franchisees in the United States.

DRG's dedication to innovation is evident in unique restaurant concepts, including the eighth Taco Bell Cantina in San Jose, a state-of-the-art Ghost Kitchen with food-delivery robots in San Francisco, and the first drive-through-only mobile and delivery Taco Bell in Missouri.

The company emphasizes community engagement and sustainability, raising over $2.2 million through the national Taco Bell Foundation fundraiser "Round Up" in 2023.

They contributed more than $1 million in Community Grants and $100,000 in Live Mas Scholarships to local communities.

DRG is also investing in sustainable practices such as solar power and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, planning to open two stations in Northern California.

This includes an all-electric Taco Bell aiming for a net-zero energy footprint.
