A&W Restaurants to expand in Columbia, South Carolina
A&W Restaurants has unveiled strategic plans to broaden its footprint in the city of Columbia, South Carolina and extend into neighbouring cities such as Darlington. The quick-service restaurant chain, with more than a century of heritage, is offering local entrepreneurs the chance to partner with a historic brand and introduce a proven business model to their neighbourhoods. Columbia's economic performance and GDP growth make it a prime location for A&W's expansion. The region's population and economic development have led to increased demand for housing, retail and dining options, creating an environment where businesses can cater to a growing customer base. A&W's initiative includes opening new territories for single and multi-unit development, potentially creating 100 new jobs per location. A&W Restaurants CEO and president Betsy Schmandt stated: "A&W Restaurants has become part of communities across the country by serving classic all-American food and offering a welcoming, hometown experience." "At A&W, we're committed to helping franchise owners build something lasting, something they can be proud to pass down for generations. We see tremendous potential in Columbia and its neighbouring cities, where passionate, community-driven entrepreneurs can help us continue our legacy of bringing people together." A&W Restaurants is actively seeking to increase its presence in South Carolina, with plans to inaugurate three new outlets in the coming years. The brand's journey in the state began with the opening of a franchise in Rock Hill in 2023, followed by Darlington's first A&W on 4 June 2025. A&W now has more than 850 locations globally. The company is on the lookout for potential franchise partners in Columbia who are community and service-oriented. A&W Restaurants supports its franchisees with the backing of a family-oriented brand. The minimum requirement for interested franchise owners is $300,000 in liquid assets and a total net worth of $700,000. In February 2024, A&W Restaurants extended its presence with four additional new franchise locations in the US. "A&W Restaurants to expand in Columbia, South Carolina" was originally created and published by Verdict Food Service, a GlobalData owned brand.

Windsor Drake Positions Founder-Led Businesses for Premium Exits Amid Shifting Market Dynamics
NEW YORK, NY / / June 14, 2025 / Windsor Drake, a boutique investment bank specializing in founder-led middle-market businesses, reports continued demand for strategic sell-side advisory as business owners navigate a rapidly evolving M&A environment. The firm's recent transactions have achieved an average 35% premium over baseline valuation expectations, driven by deep strategic positioning and precision buyer alignment. "Sophisticated buyers today aren't just paying for earnings," said Thomas Barrington, Managing Director at Windsor Drake. "They're paying for defensibility, platform value, and alignment with their long-term strategy. Our job is to translate that value in language buyers move on." Value Realization Through Strategic Positioning Windsor Drake's recent engagements highlight the firm's emphasis on narrative construction and buyer psychology: A specialized software firm secured a 14x revenue multiple after repositioning its product as essential infrastructure within an emerging market. A healthcare provider received a 40% premium following a targeted outreach campaign that uncovered a buyer with $30 million in identified annual synergies. A regional manufacturer was transformed into a platform asset, triggering competitive tension and multiple offers above industry norms. These outcomes were the result of 12-18 months of advance preparation, during which Windsor Drake worked closely with management to enhance internal alignment, define the business's strategic edge, and shape the market narrative before buyer conversations began. "Too many founders wait for the perfect market," Barrington noted. "What they should be doing is preparing to enter the market in peak condition." Structural Tailwinds Continue to Support Seller Advantage Several macro factors continue to support favorable conditions for founder exits: Over $1 trillion in private equity dry powder globally Strategic acquirers seeking inorganic growth amid margin pressure Demographic shifts, as baby boomers accelerate ownership transitions Sector-specific regulatory changes, prompting consolidation in healthcare, financial services, and technology-enabled industries Against this backdrop, Windsor Drake's average EBITDA multiples have outperformed comparable benchmarks by 2-3 turns, with favorable deal terms across earnouts, working capital adjustments, and indemnification structures. "There's a material gap in outcomes between opportunistic sales and professionally run processes," said Barrington. "Our process is not just faster. It's engineered to extract the full strategic value of the business - in ways traditional firms or one-dimensional advisors consistently miss." Selective Mandates, Senior Execution Windsor Drake maintains a high-barrier model, accepting fewer than 20% of potential mandates and managing a controlled pipeline of 8-10 active engagements at any given time. This is a high-touch, precision-driven process - we're not for everyone, and that's by design. This ensures senior-level execution and sustained focus on maximizing both valuation and terms. Notable internal metrics include: 100% of closed transactions at or above target valuation Average time to close: 4.5 months (vs. industry average of 6-8 months) 90% of deals with favorable earnout and working capital structures Zero failed transactions due to diligence or buyer-side financing The firm's current portfolio includes mandates across healthcare services, specialty manufacturing, software, and business services. Expansion and Outlook To meet rising demand, Windsor Drake will expand its sector-specific teams in healthcare and technology in 2025. The firm is also establishing a West Coast office to better serve clients in growth verticals concentrated in California and the Pacific Northwest. "The next 12-24 months represent a high-conviction window for founders," Barrington concluded. "Valuations remain strong, buyers have capital, and strategic clarity is at a premium. Well-prepared sellers are winning." About Windsor Drake Windsor Drake is a boutique M&A advisory firm serving founder-led businesses with enterprise values between $10 million and $150 million. Known for strategic positioning, institutional buyer access, and high-trust execution, the firm has built a track record of delivering premium outcomes in complex middle-market transactions. With offices in New York, Toronto, and London, Windsor Drake serves founder-led companies across North America and Europe.
