Ark Restaurants Corp.ARKR
Consumer Discretionary

Operates a multi-brand portfolio of restaurants, bars, fast-food concepts, and catering businesses in U.S. leisure markets. Revenue depends on location-specific dining, group events, and venue traffic rather than a single national chain.

Runs a location-based hospitality portfolio of restaurants, bars, fast-food concepts, and catering businesses. Its facilities serve U.S. leisure markets including New York City, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., Florida, and Alabama, with destination settings around tourism, casinos, waterfronts, parks, museums, and events.

Builds the offer around named local concepts, private events, and group travel instead of a single standardized national banner. Operations depend on guest traffic, individual venues, landlords, leases, and local tourism, casino, and event conditions; the closure of El Rio Grande and termination of the Tampa Food Court lease illustrate that location dependence.
