Restaurant M&A Post-COVID-19
Almost all businesses in the US have felt the pinch (or downright punch to the gut) from the coronavirus pandemic. Arguably, the restaurant industry has felt the negative effects of the shrinking economy as deeply as any market sector. Popular restaurant chains are closing locations at an alarming rate, and others are modifying business models to meet changing customer demands. As some restaurants adapt and succeed despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, others are looking for ways to stay afloat—or to create an exit strategy. Whether combining operations or buying the assets of a closing business, restaurant M&A is an opportunity for all types of existing and aspiring owners.
