SouthRock’s multi-brand operator, Brazil Airport Restaurants, inaugurated its first airport stores in 2017 and has grown currently to operate in Brazil’s largest and busiest airports. In 2018 SouthRock became the Master Licensee for Starbucks and TGI Fridays in Brazil. Starbucks expanded for the first time outside of Sao Paulo and Rio in 2019 and now reaches customers in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, Distrito Federal, Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, and Minas Gerais. TGI Fridays operates in the Rio & São Paulo regions with expansion plans to enter other states in the near future.

In 2019, SouthRock Lab was founded to focus on accelerating technological advancement that elevates customer’s physical and digital experience with brands. Most recently, in May 2022, we proudly announced that SouthRock is the Master Franchisee for Subway in Brazil – one of the largest fast food restaurant brands in the world. Subway serves freshly made sandwiches, wraps, salads, and bowls to millions of consumers in nearly 40,000 stores worldwide, with over 1,600 units in Brazil, making it the largest food and beverage franchise company in the country. In these recent years, SouthRock has remained true to its mission and values as we have come together to face an unprecedented global pandemic. Today, our business is more adaptable, innovative, and our culture is stronger than ever.
