OUR STORY

Office

DRM is a family-owned and operated company, founded in 1977. Matt and Marc Johnson, who joined the company in 1984, are President & CEO and President & COO, respectively. Matt and Marc literally grew up in fast food and brought with them the experience, talent and foresight to make DRM one of the most flexible and enjoyable places to work. “We provide the atmosphere, flexibility, opportunities for learning and growth, and feel this is what makes us the employer of choice for the right people,” said Matt Johnson.

DRM currently owns and operates 121 Arby’s restaurants in seven Midwest states with the Corporate Office located in Omaha, Nebraska.
