Tasty D'Lites LLC, the affiliate of Triton Pacific Capital Partners, a private equity firm, revealed it has bought 17 Dunkin' Donuts stores in the United States. To be more specific, the restaurants are located in the state of Vermont.
As reported by Restaurant Business, Tasty D'Lites also purchased a central manufacturing plant in the said region. The deal scales up Triton Pacific Capital's franchise restaurant portfolio.
Tasty D'Lites' Expansive QSR Operations
The deal entered into by Tasty D'Lites allows the Los Angeles-headquartered PEF firm, Triton Pacific Capital Partners, to take on board more units of the Dunkin' Donuts franchise. This will increase the current operations of Tasty D'Lites in Charlotte, North Carolina, and further grow the number of its Dunkin' stores to a total of 37 across the state and now in Vermont.
The announcement did not mention the financial details and terms of the agreement. In any case, Tasty D'Lites is operating under Tasty Restaurant Group LLC, which is a Triton Pacific affiliate.
Currently, it is managing almost 410 quick service restaurants (QSR) under the authority of Triton Pacific. Some brands it operates in 20 states include KFC, Taco Bell, Burger King, Pizza Huy, and Baskin-Robbins.
Tactical Investment Move
The buyout of the Dunkin' restaurants is reportedly a strategic investment for Tasty D'Lites. This is because the deal increased its operations in North Carolina and built a significant presence in the Northeast.
"We are thrilled by the future growth opportunity this acquisition has presented us. Dunkin' is a well-established leader in the quick service restaurant industry, especially in the Northeast, where there is an extremely loyal customer base," Triton Pacific's chief executive officer, Craig Faggen, said in a press release. "We believe that this demand, combined with our tenured operational leadership and the attractive economics of the acquisition, provides a compelling opportunity for Tasty D'Lites and our partners."
