Denny's stock (ISIN US24869P1084) left Nasdaq on January 16, 2026, when the company completed its sale to TriArtisan Capital Advisors, Treville Capital Group and Yadav Enterprises. According to Denny's, shareholders received USD 6.25 per share and the restaurant group became privately held.

Private ownership began January 16

The transaction changed the role of the DENN ticker from a publicly traded security to a former Nasdaq listing. The company said its operating commitment to franchisees and guests remained in place after the ownership change.

The deal gives the new owners control over a restaurant network built around the Denny's and Keke's Breakfast Cafe brands. Denny's operates in the consumer cyclical sector and the restaurant industry, with a franchise-heavy model that makes execution across individual locations central to the business.

Project Grand Slam sets 2026 targets

The operating plan is now the clearest measurable milestone for the private company. As New York Post reported on September 14, 2026, Project Grand Slam calls for the renovation of over 350 restaurants and the opening of 20 new locations in 2026, followed by another 20 in 2027.

The plan also adds a menu and service dimension to the rollout. The same September 2026 report described new menu items, a catering expansion and leadership changes under CEO Chris Bode, giving the private group several operating levers beyond store remodeling.

The former ticker marks a transition

For market readers, the important distinction is structural rather than intraday: the USD 6.25 per share consideration belongs to the January 16, 2026 acquisition, while Project Grand Slam describes the company strategy after the public listing ended. The next test is whether the 350 remodels and 20 openings translate into stronger restaurant operations.
