FranStop

Merrymeeting, Inc. (MMI) is the parent company of FranStop. Merrymeeting, Inc. is a Cleveland-based investment and management firm that exclusively focuses on investing in, acquiring and developing franchisors and their franchised business operations. MMI currently supports more than 1,700 franchise locations through its six franchise companies, and provides an array of specialty services to meet the unique operating needs of franchisors. MMI’s goal is to become a leading provider of both value-added capital and management services to the franchising industry.

During the past five years, MMI has invested approximately $20,000,000 in the acquisition and development of six franchisors. The success of these investments has led us to expand our traditional investment strategy of exclusively seeking 100% asset and/or stock purchases to now also evaluating opportunities to acquire significant minority or majority positions in franchisors and master franchisees.

MMI’s management team has extensive investment and management experience in a number of industries, so we are willing to consider investments in a broad range of franchise offerings, including but not limited to, financial services, business-to-business and business-to-consumer service offerings, restaurants and other retail concepts. Typically, we are seeking investment opportunities in the $100,000 to $5,000,000 range; however, larger investment opportunities will be seriously considered.

If you are seeking a buyer or investor for your business, please contact John Davies, MMI's CEO, for a confidential discussion. John may be reached at 216-674-0645 x12 or via email at jdavies@merrymtg.com.
