CHAIN RESTAURANT STRATEGY
Triton affiliate offering will identify operating businesses in the chain restaurant industry, with a focus on income producing chain restaurant franchisees in North America. Important attributes for acquisitions will include strong, consistent cash flow generation within well-positioned brands that have high customer loyalty and identifiable growth potential. We will also seek out companies that exhibit untapped potential that can benefit from a combination of capital, relationships, strategic guidance and operating expertise that the offering can provide. Target companies are those often overlooked by larger private equity offerings due to their smaller size and the greater difficulty in sourcing and managing them.
We believe the overall dynamics of the chain restaurant industry are conducive to building a sizable, enduring and very profitable business in a way that is below the radar of larger investors. In addition, the offering intends to acquire fee interests in certain of the properties that its restaurants occupy with the goal of developing and selling those properties for profit.
