Unbridled Capital recently provided sell-side advisory services to Yakima Restaurants Inc., led by Emily Music, Annie Arthur, and Matt Arthur, on the sale of 9 Taco Bells in the Northwest. The restaurants were acquired by existing Taco Bell franchisee Northwest Restaurants, Inc., led by Brett Sibert and family.
“I have been the sell-side advisor for approximately 80 Taco Bell closings over the past 20 years. What a blessing – surely more than anyone else in the world. And it all started humbly with a 10-year-old Kentucky boy who fell in love with Taco Bell tacos and hot sauce. The best part of this brand? Unequivocally, it is the people, the legacy of its franchisees, and their embodiment of the American Dream. Emily, Annie, and Matt followed the rich franchise legacy of the late George Kentris. It was an honor to help them reach a successful outcome with these super-high-volume stores. Also, the Northwest Restaurant team did an excellent job of closing this deal expeditiously with few obstacles. To both parties, we offer a sincere congratulations, and we know the Sibert’s will do great with their new market,“ said Rick Ormsby, Managing Director at Unbridled Capital.
“We are so thankful for Unbridled Capital! Could not have done it without them. They did an excellent job of managing our expectations, working patiently with us, and preparing our business for sale. During the marketing phase, they brought us very competitive offers, and we achieved a price that was higher than our initial valuation. Unbridled worked tirelessly on our behalf during contract negotiations, due diligence, and closing to deliver a successful outcome for all parties – on time and at the expected price. We highly endorse their work – they are worth every penny!” said franchisee Matt Arthur.
Unbridled Capital continues to support the Taco Bell foundation as well as other various charitable causes. We want to be a blessing because we have been blessed.
With a success rate of over 95% in selling Taco Bell restaurants, Unbridled Capital is the only way to go. For more information, contact Rick Ormsby at 502-252-6422 and [email protected].
