Our Story
We've done this before.
RFG Foods, LLC is a Wendy's franchise group based in Fort Smith, Arkansas, founded by Brandon Richmond and Jonathan Griffin. Before launching RFG, the founders built and operated a 14-location convenience store group across the region, with locations later acquired by Casey's General Stores. RFG Foods brings that operator experience together with an in-house construction and development platform to build, open, and operate Wendy's restaurants across Arkansas and Oklahoma.
