Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. engages in the ownership, operation and franchising of casual dining restaurants worldwide. The company’s portfolio includes five full-service restaurant chains: Outback Steakhouse, known for its Australian-inspired steakhouse concept; Carrabba’s Italian Grill, offering Italian-American cuisine; Bonefish Grill, specializing in handcrafted seafood dishes; Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, focusing on premium steak and wine experiences; and Aussie Grill by Outback, featuring a streamlined menu of signature items.

Founded in 1988 by four entrepreneurs in Tampa, Florida, Bloomin’ Brands launched its first Outback Steakhouse before completing an initial public offering in 1995. Growth since then has combined new unit development with strategic acquisitions and franchising partnerships.

Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Bloomin’ Brands is led by President and Chief Executive Officer David Deno, whose prior experience in the restaurant sector underpins the company’s focus on operational excellence and innovation. The leadership team oversees brand marketing, menu development, supply-chain optimization and technology initiatives designed to enhance guest experience and streamline costs.
As a publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ under the symbol BLMN, Bloomin’ Brands pursues sustainable growth by leveraging its diversified brand portfolio. The company continues to evaluate menu enhancements, remodel existing restaurants and pursue selective new development in both domestic and international markets, all while maintaining its commitment to ingredient quality, service consistency and brand integrity.
