FX4B, LLC
The Cypress Group acted as exclusive advisor to FX4B in the valuation and sale of its 43 restaurant Arby's business to KBP Inspired - a newly formed affiliate of KBP Brands. Cypress provided FX4 with strategic guidance, valuation services, buyer introductions, deal structuring, and negotiation.
"I want to thank Dan Collins, Dean Zuccarello, and the entire Cypress team for the fantastic job they've done advising us over the past 15 years. It's been a real journey with many ups and downs, and Cypress has been there with us every step of the way. The sale to KBP Inspired leaves our business in great hands and creates an exit for my family that exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the guidance, process, and results delivered by Cypress!"
- Charlie Harmon, CEO & Owner, FX4
Based in Phoenix and owned by 40-year Arby's veteran Charlie Harmon, FX4 was a system leader and top performing franchisee in the Arby's system. The purchase of these restaurants represents KBP Inspired's initial investment in the Arby's brand.
“Charlie Harmon built a great company with a strong people-oriented and results-driven culture. We think it’s a great fit for KBP and are extremely excited to be entering the Arby’s system with the purchase of FX4.
