Brix Holdings acquired by Friendly's franchisee
This story was originally published on Restaurant Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Restaurant Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Legacy Brands International, an investment group led by Friendly's franchisee Amol Kohli, is acquiring Brix Holding Company, the parent company of Friendly's and several other brands, the companies announced Tuesday. Kohli will assume the position of board chair at Brix, while CEO Sherif Mityas will remain in place along with the current leadership team, according to the press release. Existing Brix ownership will continue involvement with the company and become investors in Legacy Brands. Brix will continue growing its brands, which also include Clean Juice, Orange Leaf, Red Mango, Smoothie Factory + Kitchen, Souper Salad, and Humble Donut, and will pursue further acquisitions. Dive Insight: Kohli owns more than 30 Friendly's locations on the East Coast, a significant portion both of Friendly's store system — which was about 100 units as of mid-2024 — and Brix's roughly 250-unit storebase across all its brands. According to the press release, Kohli's operational experience could help with the expansion of Brix. Backed by Legacy Brands, Brix is pursuing immediate growth for Friendly's in Georgia, the Carolinas and Texas — where Brix is headquartered. The press release states that Brix's brands have had a successful run over the last year. 'The company had positive same-store systemwide sales comps in 2024 and is showing continued momentum across its portfolio of brands heading into the second half of this year.' Last year, Mityas told Restaurant Dive that Friendly's sales success in recent quarters was driven by menu changes, significant brand loyalty and a restrained pricing approach. At the time, Mityas said Brix was offering franchising discounts to persuade existing franchisees to build new units and to draw new operators into the system. According to the press release, Brix has awarded eight new franchise agreements so far this year, though the company did not specify which brands had awarded those agreements. Brand acquisitions by franchisees have become a trend in restaurant mergers and acquisitions in recent years. Thrive Restaurant Group bought out Modern Market Eatery last year after signing a major franchising agreement with the brand. Sun Holdings, a Burger King franchisee, has built up a multi-brand platform in other restaurant segments and recently acquired Uncle Julio's. Earlier this year, two franchisees bought a significant chunk of Hooter's storebase during Chapter 11 proceedings and also assumed responsibility for much of the brand's franchisee support.

Tony Robbins' Top 3 Tips That Will Save Retirees From Financial Disaster
One of the most popular and well-known money gurus out there today is Tony Robbins. For decades, Robbins has been releasing books, conducting seminars and giving financial wisdom to those who are seeking answers for how to get their money on track. Read Next: Find Out: One group that might need an extra bit of help are retirees. Luckily, Robbins has a bounty of methods for making sure they do not run their finances into the ground. Here are Tony Robbins' top three tips that will save retirees from disaster. Plan For Your Retirement Now For some of us, retirement might be just around the corner. For others, it can feel like lightyears away. Don't miss out on that time, whatever it might be, to allow for your retirement savings to grow, which means starting as soon as you can. To figure out the number you'll need to retire comfortably, Robbins recommends that you take it in several steps: calculate how much money it takes to maintain your current lifestyle, multiply that total amount by 20. It's important to be conservative with your numbers instead of overly optimistic. Once that figure has been estimated, it's time to start figuring out a retirement plan. 'The number you come up with may be massive — but don't be afraid to dream big,' advised Robbins. 'With the right mindset and relentless focus, you can go beyond 'How much do I need for retirement?' and start asking 'How much do I want for retirement?'' Consider This: Build a Money Machine How much someone saves for retirement will vary, as well as how they do it. But Robbins urges everyone to start building what he calls the 'money machine.' This happens by 'harnessing the power of compounding to create an income stream for the rest of your lifetime. In other words, you must automate your savings in a tax efficient manner and utilize an investment strategy that will keep earning in any season,' according to Robbins. Robbins highlights that one way to build the money machine is through compounding interest, which only can be truly utilized to its fullest with time. You can cultivate money in savings so that interest from these investments eventually generates enough income without needing to work a job. 'When you enter the second act of your life, you will have the freedom to work only if you want to,' Robbins said. Coordinate Your Planning for Retirement and Taxes 'With traditional plans, you don't pay taxes on your contributions at the time they are made,' Robbins explained. 'Taxes are deferred until you begin withdrawing from your plan — and then you are taxed at the current tax rate for your income bracket.' The plans that Robbins recommends retirees or those who are starting to think about retirement include traditional ones such as a 401(k), an IRA, and a Roth IRA. Knowing how much of your retirement plan will be going to taxes each year will help you plan accordingly versus getting a surprise tax bill. 'Don't be blindsided by the hit taxes can take against your nest egg,' warned Robbins. 'Protect your nest egg and protect your road to retirement. Ultimately, you're protecting your financial future — and nothing is more important than that.'

Farmers' tariff patience wears thin
Presented by With help from Samuel Benson and Marcia Brown QUICK FIX — How long will farmers' 'wait and see' attitude toward President Donald Trump's tariffs last? — The rollout of Republicans' reconciliation megabill will hit small, independent grocers hard. — A co-director of one recently-axed Regional Food Business Center talks about what the program's end will mean for rural communities. IT'S MONDAY, JULY 21. Welcome to Morning Agriculture. I'm your host Grace Yarrow, hoping you all celebrated National Ice Cream Day appropriately. Send tips to gyarrow@ or on Signal at gracemy.31 and follow us at @Morning_Ag for more. Want to receive this newsletter every weekday? Subscribe to POLITICO Pro. You'll also receive daily policy news and other intelligence you need to act on the day's biggest stories. Driving the day HOW LONG WILL 'WAIT AND SEE' LAST? Farmers' patience with President Donald Trump could be waning as they scramble to understand and brace for a looming trade war ahead of harvest season for many major U.S. commodities. Trump has sent out dozens of letters to trading partners — and key ag importers like the European Union, Japan and South Korea — warning them of the tariff rate they will face in coming weeks. Time is running out for the administration to prove that those threats will pay off before hurting already-struggling farmers. Senate Ag Chair John Boozman (R-Ark.) said that farmers have had a 'wait and see' attitude towards the tariffs, trusting the Trump administration's work to get new trade deals done to open new markets. But, he added, farmers are 'anxious' in light of the president's slew of new tariff threats. Trump's farm state allies on Capitol Hill have stood by his ultimate goal of securing new markets for farmers, but it's not clear how long their patience will last. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) told MA that farmers need to 'grab a hoe and hold on.' 'Our farmers are in trouble,' he told MA last week. 'They're in bad trouble. I don't know whether there's anything we can do to save them, unless these tariffs work, and I hope we can. We're going to do everything we possibly can.' Related reading: 'Trump's determination to barrel ahead with tariffs is forcing a growing number of Republican lawmakers to make an uncomfortable choice: defend the president's agenda or influential industries back home.' More on that from our Ari Hawkins and Daniel Desrochers here. Is time really running out? One ag advocate, granted anonymity to discuss concerns about the administration's tariff approach, said that Trump has about a month and a half to prove his trade plans are working before farmers start harvesting and selling their products. 'We're getting closer to harvest time,' the person said. 'We're getting to the point where those sales numbers are really going to matter, the prices are really going to matter. And we're coming into the fall with some limited trade deals.' Producers of top U.S. ag exports like corn and soybeans are gearing up to harvest and sell their products starting around August and September — and will be hit hard by any reciprocal tariffs or uncertainty caused by the state of Trump's trade negotiations. Another complication: The person added that agriculture lobbyists are struggling to ask the administration for carve-outs or support, as Trump himself is seemingly making calls on tariff plans without involving his Cabinet. 'Ultimately it's a good thing that other countries don't know what he's going to do. It's all subject to negotiations,' the person said. 'But the real challenge is that the only person whose word really matters here is Trump. … It doesn't matter what [Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins] says.' In the States LATEST IN MEGABILL FALLOUT: The deep cuts Republicans made to federal nutrition programs this summer are poised to devastate independent grocery stores that are central to many low-income communities, including those that voted for President Donald Trump. Food aid recipients often make up the majority of small grocers' customer base in remote areas and food deserts — places that have limited options for fresh, healthy food. But a central part of paying for the GOP policy megabill Trump signed on July 4 relied on slashing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the nation's largest anti-hunger initiative. Even though some provisions in the new law won't go into effect for another three years, others, like expanded work requirements for SNAP participants, could kick some families out of the program and hit the bottom lines of small grocery stores within months. It's a chain reaction set off in Washington that's likely to reshape how people access food in more isolated communities even if they don't use federal assistance. 'I lean pretty heavily right most of the time, but one of the things that I do lean to the left on is we're a pretty wealthy country, we can help people out,' said St. Johns, Arizona, Mayor Spence Udall, whose town overwhelmingly supported Trump in 2024. Don't miss the full story from MA's own Rachel Shin here. AROUND THE AGENCIES GOODBYE RURAL FOOD CENTERS: USDA's move last week to abruptly cancel remaining funding for a dozen centers serving farms and other rural companies will have a 'devastating' effect on food and farm businesses, according to the co-director of one of the targeted centers. Katie Nixon said Heartland Regional Food Business Center will trim its work significantly over the next 60 days and then close its doors entirely in August 2026. You all had this meeting [last Wednesday] where you learned about this decision to end the program. What was that like and what reasoning were you given? The reasoning given on the call was that the way it was organized was not in line with congressional approval or something like that. And then the press release came out, and it was like the just most ridiculous argument, saying that this was temporary funding anyways, so we're going to cancel it, because it's unfair to farmers to put temporary funding on the ground and then take it away, which makes no sense. Is there anything else you want people to know about the work that the centers did and why it mattered? We are in a country right now where those small businesses are not succeeding and they're not thriving, especially in food and farming. Our farming businesses are dropping left and right, and the consolidation of agriculture has become to the point where I don't even recognize what a farm is anymore to some degree. What the Regional Food Business Centers do is ground the work in the community and allow the professionals who help those businesses and who care about those businesses help them thrive.
