And we thought 2020 was quite a year.
Not to take anything away from last year it was a year that won t be forgotten anytime soon, both for its heartache and heartwarming stories but this year already has proved to be quite memorable in its own right, at least in the tire and automotive service industry.
With the year barely 75 days old, there already has been enough M&A activity (mergers and acquisitions) to last a lifetime.
Prime among them, at least since the start of March, is BayPine L.P. s bid to purchase Mavis Tire Express Service Corp., a network of more than 1,100 company-owned and franchised locations spread across 27 states. The investment firm, in partnership with TSG Consumer Partners LP (TSG) and existing equity holder West First Management (WFM), a holding company controlled by Mavis co-CEOs David and Stephen Sorbaro, hope to close the deal in the second quarter.
