Transaction Testimonial
"My relationship with Trinity dates back many years and includes several prior transactions. This
latest transaction not only increased our unit count more than 20% and expanded our footprint in
Virginia, it also provided access to additional capital for continued growth. Trinity’s sound advice
and seamless execution helped us complete a complicated deal on the best possible terms. I look
forward to working with them again and highly recommend Trinity to anyone considering a
transaction."
