Half the posts in this thread are bitching about PE buying this without realizing it’s another firm selling it

Do the Peebles still own the Ellick franchise?
When I moved here they were the best glazed donuts I had ever eaten.

Our Alexandria locations are basically inedible,

I'll give'em 6 months before it's ruined like Geaux Clean.
We had a decent car wash chain until it was sold to a private equity firm. Now it doesn't geaux clean and you sometimes get scratches on your paint job.

I have had PE companies try to buy our business, and havent found one that hasnt ruined past companies they have bought. My customers and employees deserve better than them.

Back in the 60, 70's the one in Ruston was awesome. At least I thought it was.

Strange that a private equity firm would want to own such a management intensive business that is so geographically segmented. They obviously aren’t familiar with the labor force in the south.
It was already owned by a PE firm

Crispy? They are famously soft a doughy in the Houston area.
Must be your local franchise butchering the product.

Not even close….Sheen and Douglass were traders….apples and grapefruits compared to PE. Do you even finance, bro?
