Like most restaurant chains, MTY has suffered dramatically during the pandemic<\/a>. However, the franchisor is making a strong comeback thanks to its solid balance sheet management. It has just announced a<\/span> second major acquisition in a few weeks: Wetzel’s Pretzels, a franchisor and operator of food kiosks.<\/p>\n

The Globe and Mail\u2019s<\/em> columnist David Berman wonders if this acquisition will give MTY a new boost. He turned to Aaron Lanni, portfolio manager and partner at Medici, to discuss the latest transaction announced by the Montreal-based restaurant operator.<\/p>\n

With the purchase of Wetzel’s Pretzels \u2014 a US $207 million transaction \u2014 MTY acquired a network of more than 350 locations in the United States, in Canada and in Panama.<\/p>\n

In August, MTY Group made another major acquisition, BBQ Holdings<\/a>, for US$200 million<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is probably one of the best acquisitions that we\u2019ve seen them do in the past three to five years,” Aaron Lanni told The Globe & Mail<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Usually, MTY will buy something that\u2019s either mature, not really growing or slightly declining \u2013and they hope to deliver growth,” explains the portfolio manager.<\/p>\n

“But this one is already growing, it\u2019s in high-traffic areas and they paid a reasonable price.”<\/p>\n
