About Roark
Roark Capital Group is an Atlanta-based private equity firm with approximately $1.5 billion in capital under management. Roark focuses on middle-market investment opportunities through family-owned business transfers, management/corporate buyouts, recapitalizations, going-private transactions, and corporate divestitures. We invest primarily in consumer and business services companies, with a focus on the franchise, food and restaurant, specialty retail, direct marketing and financial services sectors.
Roark has acquired 13 franchise/multi-unit brands that collectively have more than 13,000 points of distribution, 2,000 franchisees, and $2.9 billion in system-wide revenues across 50 states and 33 countries. Roark has also acquired four direct marketing companies and three financial services businesses.
We believe that successful investing begins with providing a compelling value proposition to all business constituencies. A win-win-win approach leads to an enthusiastic business environment where customers, employees, franchisees, strategic partners, service providers, management and shareholders share in the growth and success of our businesses, and we look to partner with entrepreneurs and executives who share this vision.
