Inspire currently has about 300 employees at 1155 Perimeter Center West. The company plans a move next year to 3 Glenlake Parkway. That site is a former headquarters of Newell Rubbermaid and is not far from the new Mercedes-Benz headquarters.
The corporate expansion is part of an ambitious growth plan, with the company aiming to buy more restaurant chains, from fast food to casual dining, Brown recently told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The company will be filling jobs in marketing, finance, operations, information technology, legal and development roles.
Inspire said that interested candidates can visit www.InspireBrands.com/Careers to learn more about the jobs and to apply for openings.
Inspire's news comes during a string of corporate expansions recently announced in metro Atlanta. Among the companies saying they will be adding hundreds of jobs are Instacart, Incomm and Pandora.
The most recent unemployment report shows metro Atlanta joblessness at an 11-year low.
