LEADING OUR BRAND PARTNERS INTO THE FUTURE 

WE GROW UNITS BY GROWING PEOPLE

BRAND & PEOPLE BUILDING AMBASSADORS

It is our belief that in order for us and our brand partners to emerge at the top in the QSR industry, it is important to have a strong people first driven culture, and a powerful high standard of service execution.  We take pride in the teams we have built, in their growth and in all they have achieved.  No matter the challenge - broken units we have purchased from disenchanted or tired ownership, Hurricane Harvey, pandemic related government mandated shutdowns or limitations, we Emerge! through the chaos and adapt and overcome because our people don’t act like victims of circumstance but rather are conquerors who overcome all barriers!  In the face of change, we rise up and win where others fail.

RISING UP TO THE CHALLENGE WHEN OTHERS WON’T

Transitions are tough, but we love a challenge!

YOU ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR TEAM

Since 2009 We've Been Trusted

With QSR Turnarounds, Transformations & Transitions.

We Are Proud of Our Team and Their Results:

TURNAROUND

We started out purchasing under perfor-ming units with potential. We developed operations, improved assets, upgraded management teams, and partnered with brands to enhance guests' and employees' experiences. We increased sales and profitability, growing unit PRA sales significantly.

TRANSFORMATION

Now, we purchase successful units and uncover further sales growth. We lead and inspire unit leaders to develop their teams, enhance operations, grow sales, and increase profitability.

TRANSITION

Brands trust in our method of transition-ing teams into Emerge! In early 2017 we gained approval for Sonic Brand and purchased 29 restaurants in Houston, Texas​. Soon after we purchased 27 KFC corporate units in the Houston area.  8 Taco Bell units in the Houston area followed, and we recently acquired 30 Pizza Huts in Arizona!

MEET OUR FOUNDER

In 2009 I began my journey in the restaurant business.  I gained approval as a franchisee of Lenny’s Sub shop and purchased my 1st unit. There's nothing more exciting than rebuilding a store. After several other purchases and sales, I was given the opportunity to transform 7 challenged KFC-Taco Bell units and became so obsessed with turnarounds that I sold everything I had to focus on getting the formula right. We became experts in the industry doing the dirty work many others won’t do, but after 93 transitions and so much experience gained, we discovered our true calling is in building, cultivating, and sustaining growth. We specialize in acquiring intelligently by carefully selecting the brand and market. We excel at cultivating organic growth through a focus on people.  We grow units through growing people!
