Darden Might Be Signaling More Weakness With Yard House Deal

On Thursday night, Darden Restaurants, Inc. (DRI) announced a $585M cash transaction to buy Yard House USA. Is this a signal that growth at Darden restaurant mainstays such as Olive Garden and Red Lobster has peaked?

Darden Restaurants, the world's largest full-service restaurant company, owns and operates nearly 2,000 restaurants that generate $8.0 billion in annual sales. The company is headquartered in Orlando, Florida, and employs 180,000 people. The restaurant brands include Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, The Capital Grille, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52, and Eddie V's.
