Arby’s is an American fast food restaurant, with more than 3,300 branches. Arby’s isn’t a parent company, rather it is a subsidiary of Inspire Brands which owns several fast food chains in America.
Inspire Brands was formerly known as Arby’s Restaurant Group and that’s why some people confuse their names.
