“I founded The Cypress Group over 25 years ago to fill a void in the franchise and restaurant marketplace. By providing focused solutions, Cypress became one of the first advisory firms to specialize in middle-market transactions in the industry. While others have come and gone, we have never strayed from our vision and remain committed to our area of expertise.”
-Dean Zuccarello, CEO and Founding Partner

Cypress Close to Completing Wendy’s SO3 Refranchising Initiative:
In April 2015, Wendy’s engaged The Cypress Group to manage the sale of approximately 540 corporate restaurants during the balance of 2015 and first half of 2016. This refranchising initiative is called System Optimization III (“SO III”). All markets have since been awarded, and the few that have yet to close will do so before the end of the year.
