Patriot Capital, a multi-strategy middle market investment firm, is pleased to announce a new debt and equity co-investment in Quality Brand Group (“QBG” or the “Company”), formed in 2018 by MRE Capital and Blue Marlin Partners.
QBG is one of the largest franchisees in the Dunkin’ and Buffalo Wild Wings GO system with over 180 locations today across five states – Arizona, Florida, Colorado, Nevada, and Texas. Patriot Capital provided debt and equity to support the acquisition of another Dunkin’ franchisee and the Company’s debt refinancing.
“We are thrilled to work with Patriot on Quality Brand Group. Our teams were aligned culturally from day one and we valued their thoughtful perspectives and timely execution. They were communicative throughout the process and did exactly as they said they would. We look forward to many more opportunities to partner with the Patriot team,” said Jon Schwartz, Partner at MRE Capital.
