Bain Capital Acquires Sizzling Platter for Over $1 Billion

10 April 2025
Private Equity Wire
Bain Capital has reached an agreement to acquire Sizzling Platter, a restaurant platform, from CapitalSpring in a deal valued at over $1 billion, including debt. This information was reported by Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the transaction who requested anonymity due to its confidential nature.

The deal was communicated to Sizzling Platter's bondholders on Wednesday. Jefferies and UBS are providing financing for the acquisition, highlighting the ongoing interest from lenders in sponsor-backed deals within the consumer and franchise restaurant sectors, despite recent market instability caused by global tariff announcements.

Both Bain Capital and CapitalSpring have chosen not to comment on the transaction, and Jefferies and UBS also declined to provide statements. Sizzling Platter, founded in Salt Lake City, manages a diverse range of fast-casual and quick-service restaurant franchises, including well-known brands like Dunkin’, Jersey Mike’s, Wingstop, Little Caesars, Cinnabon, Red Robin, and Jamba. The company has a secured bond worth $350 million that is set to mature in November 2024.

This acquisition represents Bain Capital's second significant transaction following the announcement of extensive trade tariffs by President Donald Trump, which have impacted several mergers and acquisitions. Earlier in the week, Bain also agreed to purchase HealthEdge from Blackstone, demonstrating the firm's commitment to investing in challenging market conditions.
