Arby's Restaurant Group owner Inspire Brands said Tuesday it will buy the drive-in chain Sonic for about $1.57 billion in cash, bolstering its portfolio of restaurant brands that includes Buffalo Wild Wings and Rusty Taco.

Inspire has offered Sonic shareholders $43.50 for each share held, a 19 percent premium to the stock's Monday close.

Sonic's shares were trading just above the offer price at $43.60 in early trading.

Rusty Taco? I never heard of that place. It sounds like slang for a woman on her period.

So will they get rid of those annoying Sonic commercials with those two guys in the car?

I thought they already did. Now they have two annoying women in a car....



The upside is at least these two broads are bangable.

   I've never heard of Rusty Taco either, though they were started in Dallas, TX.  They are also Minnesota, Nebraska Colorado and Iowa.

Rusty Taco is a chain of fast food Taco restaurants in six states across the United States. Rusty Taco was founded by Rusty Fenton and his wife Denise, along with his partner at the time, Steve Dunn, in 2010.[1] The "R" in R Taco stood for Rusty Fenton’s first name, as the chain was previously called Rusty Taco.[2] On September 5, 2018, R Taco announced it was changing its name back to Rusty Taco.[3] Rusty Fenton died in 2013 of Kidney Cancer.[4]

In 2014 a majority of shares of Rusty Taco were acquired by Buffalo Wild Wings.[5] Buffalo Wild Wings along with R Taco were acquired by Arby’s Restaurant Group in 2018, forming Inspire Brands.

And thanks to Arby's: we've got the meats.
