Sbarro

5001 to 10000 employees

Sbarro lends an Italian flavor to that great American innovation, the shopping mall. The company operates and franchises nearly 1,000 cafeteria-style Italian-food stands across the US and about 40 other countries. Serving pizza, pasta entrees, and salads, Sbarro's units are typically found in high-traffic locations, such as malls, airports, and toll-road rest areas. Roughly 500 of the locations are company-owned, while the rest of the chain is operated by franchisees. The late Gennaro Sbarro, with his wife Carmela, started the business in 1956; the Sbarro family sold the company to private equity firm MidOcean Partners in 2007. Sbarro went through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in 2011.
