About DARDEN RESTAURANTS INC (DRI)
Darden Restaurants is the largest global full-service dining operator, with over $13 billion in system sales across 2,202 company-owned stores at the end of fiscal 2026, spanning the US and Canada. The firm operates 10 banners in four segments, including Olive Garden (42% of sales), LongHorn Steakhouse (26%), and fine dining (21%), which includes The Capital Grille, Ruth's Chris, and Eddie V's. The other 11% of sales comes from smaller concepts such as Yard House and Cheddar's. Darden primarily generates revenue through sales of food and beverage items at its company-owned restaurants. It also earns royalties on sales from 167 franchised locations in US and international markets, which sit within the other segment but are immaterial to consolidated results.
