Triarc Companies, Inc. is a publicly-traded company that owns brands like Snapple, Stewart’s, and Arby’s – a fast-food chain. Nelson Peltz along with his longtime partner Peter May owns 40 percent of the company, and are major driving forces in the company’s policy and administration circles.

Nelson Peltz currently spends a lot of time and effort on Triarc and Trian. Both derive their names from Triangle Industries, which was Nelson Peltz’s first major acquisition.

In 2004, Peltz was mulling purchasing a share in Krispy Kreme, but he was not satisfied with the released financial statements and communiqués with shareholders. He and May got on Peltz’s Boeing 727 and visited franchise stores in LA, Toronto, Las Vegas, and other cities. Based on his research, he decided to pass on Krispy Kreme – and thus avoided the massive stock slump for Krispy Kreme.
