Summary

Desert de Oro Foods began in 1982 when siblings Mark Peterson and Krystal Burge entered the restaurant business. The company is based in Kingman, Arizona. It operates KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants under franchise agreements with the companies that own those concepts. The group’s restaurants are located in five U.S. states, with no Canadian footprint. Locations operate as quick serve restaurants serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, depending on the brand and hours. The cuisine is Mexican/Latin in the representative data, although the three-brand portfolio spans pizza and chicken as well. A typical restaurant has about 80 seats and occupies approximately 2,000 square feet, with drive-through, dine-in and co-branded formats varying by site.

The Restaurant Enterprise Index focuses primarily on companies with a substantial role in restaurant operations. Investment firms, financial sponsors, and other ownership partners are generally not included unless they also play a meaningful operating role; an otherwise qualifying entity may also be omitted when sufficient reliable information is unavailable.

The ownership hierarchy follows the entity structure from the bottom up, showing the profiled entity in relation to its parent organizations, including its ultimate parent. When the entity owns or operates concepts beneath it, up to three are displayed.

Verify Our Data Methodology

  • Foundation: Active state business registries form the primary backbone of every record.
  • Sources: Publicly available filings throughout, including public Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs).
  • Integrity: Zero proprietary third-party databases utilized.
  • Verification: Entity/concept records are validated at the source by our in-house research team.

Leveraging Human-Verified Connections

  • Collection: Filings and public records are gathered through intake procedures.
  • Verification: In-house researchers review every record before it enters the database.
  • Ownership Chain: Where relationships can be established, researchers work upward from a concept headquarters or single concept through parent, grandparent, and ultimate parent, resolving operators into one connected structure.

Maintaining the Longitudinal Record

  • Duration: Continuous tracking since 1997. Twenty-nine years of unit-level history.
  • Method: Same methodology applied across the full period so year-over-year comparisons hold.
  • Change Tracking: Openings, closures, ownership transfers, and operator consolidation are recorded as they occur, not backfilled.
  • Result: Expansion and contraction trends visible over decades, not snapshots.
