Unbridled Provides Sell-Side Advisory to 10 Burger Kings in TN

02.03.2025

Unbridled Capital recently provided sell-side advisory services to Vanmar Inc. and Aaron Enterprises, Inc., led by siblings Diane Clayton and Mike Clayton, on the collective sale of 10 Burger Kings in Tennessee. The restaurants were sold to existing franchisee Ampler Burgers.

“We are so thankful to Unbridled Capital. They did a tremendous job representing our family in this sale after 60 years in the Burger King business. We needed an advisor who had experience, was trustworthy, had an impeccable record, and would treat us as a priority with respect. Unbridled delivered 100% on all these fronts – they are true experts, and we are impressed! It was a pleasure working with them, and we urge all franchisees to hire and trust them when it becomes time to sell their businesses,” said franchisees Diane Clayton and Mike Clayton.

“Diane and Mike represent why I love this business so much. They operated high-volume, well-operated restaurants for 60 years. When they were ready to sell, we brought their separate organizations together and sold them to one buyer at a time. Diane and Mike instill hope and confidence in the American Dream, and we are blessed to have helped them through this journey. Congratulations to all parties involved and best wishes to Ampler. And finally, kudos to our Unbridled team for reaching a successful outcome given the multiple moving pieces,” said Rick Ormsby, Managing Director.

Unbridled is honored to have earned the trust and confidence of so many wonderful Burger King franchisees. We are hopeful and optimistic that 2025 will be a successful year for everyone. For more information, contact Rick Ormsby at 502-252-6422 and [email protected].
