Transaction Testimonial
"We hired Trinity Capital to assist us in selling our Applebee’s business, in part, because with all of the success they have had assisting the parent organization and its Applebee’s franchisees, we were confident that their knowledge of the category and brand would prove to be a distinct advantage in our sale process. Aside from that, I was impressed with Trinity’s responsiveness and precision with their analytics and unique buyer universe. I really valued their reasonable and logical approach to the challenges that surfaced along the way. Trinity proved to be critical to our successful transaction. Their advice, experience and counsel were extremely helpful to me and their efforts were very much appreciated."
