Its revenue in 2013 was $13.95 billion, and $14.832 billion in 2014. == History == Aramark was founded as Davidson Brothers in 1936 by Davre and Henry Davidson.〔(Profile Davre Davidson & William Fishman )〕 Davidson Brothers began by providing vending services to plant employees in the aviation industry in Southern California. In 1959, Davre Davidson partnered with William Fishman to establish ARA (Automatic Retailers of America), which became publicly traded a year later in 1960. In 1968, ARA provided services at the Mexico City Olympic Games, the first of 16 Games they have serviced, including Athens in 2004 and Beijing in 2008. In 1969, ARA officially became ARA Services, to reflect its growing range of businesses. In 1983, Joseph Neubauer was elected CEO of ARA Services and a year later, in 1984, Neubauer led a group of executives to fend off a hostile takeover bid by coordinating a management buyout. ARA Services changed its name to Aramark in 1994.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aramark, Form 10-K, Annual Report, Filing Date Nov 28, 1994 )〕 In 2001, Aramark returned to the New York Stock Exchange as a public company under the RMK ticker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aramark, Form S-1/A, Filing Date Dec 7, 2001 )〕 In 2006, a group of investors led by Neubauer (and including CCMP Capital, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, Thomas H.
