In September, Quilvest Capital Partners exited Metro Franchising, selling it to Beach Point Capital Management. Acquired in 2013, Metro is a leading Dunkin’ franchisee in the New York City area, growing from 44 to 105 units during Quilvest’s ownership through acquisitions and new openings. Quilvest’s investment strategy focused on enhancing operational infrastructure and pursuing complementary acquisitions. The management team’s expertise, combined with Quilvest’s resources, enabled organic growth. Investing in franchisees is appealing for private equity due to brand alignment, operational efficiencies, and income diversification. The Metro investment exemplifies Quilvest’s approach to driving scalable growth through strategic initiatives.
