FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DALLAS, TX — Quality Brand Group (QBG), a leading multi-unit restaurant franchise developer and operator, has been featured in a profile by Franchise Times highlighting the company's sustained growth, operational expansion, and ascent to No. 84 on the prestigious Franchise Times Restaurant 200 list.

The feature details Quality Brand Group’s trajectory as it closed 2025 with $208 million in sales across 182 Dunkin’ locations and 5 Buffalo Wild Wings GO units. The company advanced 9 spots on the national ranking, up from No. 93 the prior year, driven by strategic new store openings, catering expansion, and disciplined multi-brand development across its key geographic markets.

In the feature, Quality Brand Group leadership detailed the core drivers behind the organization's ongoing momentum:

  • Universal Brand Accessibility: Chief Executive Officer Ann Johnson emphasized the broad appeal of Dunkin’ across dayparts and demographics. "It’s approachable for many different ages and economic groups," Johnson noted in the interview. "It has the value play, the family play, and the catering play. We appeal to individuals getting their a.m. coffee, or their afternoon refresher while making sure it stays relevant in the media and national conversation."

  • Operational Scale & Execution: Chief Operating Officer Patrick Droesch outlined how QBG’s store-level focus and operational infrastructure have enabled the platform to scale efficiently while maintaining guest satisfaction across a growing footprint in the Western and Southeastern regions.

"Our growth is a direct reflection of the dedication shown daily by our restaurant crew members, field leadership, and support teams," said Johnson. "Climbing to No. 84 on the Franchise Times Restaurant 200 validates our strategic focus on daypart expansion, catering growth, and guest-first execution.
