Proud is an understatement today.
VIBE Restaurants has climbed to #65 on the 2026 Restaurant Finance Monitor 200, the ranking of the 200 largest restaurant franchisees in the country. That's five straight years of climbing: #165 in 2022, #150 in 2023, #122 in 2024, #85 in 2025, and #65 in 2026!
But a number on a list isn't built in a boardroom. It's built one shift at a time, by general managers who close strong, coaches who develop their people, and crew members who show up and take pride in the work. We operate Little Caesars, Wingstop, and Whataburger across multiple states, and the through line has always been the same: take care of your people, and the results follow.
That's not a slogan. It's our operating model.
This milestone reflects the vision our founders, Shalin Patel, Irfaan Lalani, and Faisal Lalani, set in motion, and the work of every member of the VIBE team who brings it to life. Thank you. We're just getting started.
