The word 'theirs' is a possessive pronoun that takes the place of something belonging to a plural noun. When the possessive pronoun is standing in for one thing it takes a singular verb form; when the possessive pronoun is standing in for multiple things, it takes a plural verb form.

Examples:

Theirs is the house on the corner.

Theirs are the best burgers in town.
