What goes into an investment into one of the country’s fastest growing restaurant brands?

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Scott Romanoff, the cofounder and co managing partner of Franchise Equity Partners.

Franchise Equity Partners is a long-term investor in multi-unit operators of all types and recently made a big investment in 7 Crew, a 50-unit franchisee of the rapidly growing beverage brand 7 Brew.

The beverage chain has been one of the fastest-growing restaurant chains in the country. It is also helping to lead a beverage revolution in the restaurant space.

We wanted to ask Scott about that investment and about 7 Brew. We discuss the brand and why it was worth the investment. Scott talked about the operator and why its ability to grow locations was so attractive.

We also discussed the environment of the past couple of years and why that’s made Franchise Equity Partners more choosy about its investments.

We’re talking 7 Brew on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.
