Main & Main represents operators and investors on the buy-side of multi-unit franchise transactions, from single-unit add-ons to platform acquisitions and multi-brand consolidation strategies. Whether you are entering a new brand, expanding an existing footprint, or building a scaled platform, we bring the same process discipline and expertise that drives our sell-side practice.
Our work begins before the target search. We help clients define acquisition criteria around brand quality, market strength, and unit-level economics, then source and qualify opportunities through our operator relationships, including opportunities that never reach the open market.
Every engagement is built around the client’s capital plan and operating goals, not deal volume. We advise on the transactions worth doing and, just as importantly, the ones worth walking away from.
