“HOW A STRONG RELATIONSHIP ECOSYSTEM EXTENDED BURGER KING’S REACH ACROSS EUROPE”
Kharis Capital’s founding partners built the firm on longterm, mutually beneficial relationships with families, private equity firms and institutional investors. It was one of these relationships –a longstanding personal and professional alliance with global PEfirm 3G Capital– that grew into the successful acquisition and expansion of the Burger King franchise across Italy and Poland.
The Kharis team designed a multi-country business plan, hired solid talent and took control of the 130 existing restaurants and sub-franchisee network. New outlets were added to the map across both markets, making for an extremely successful and profitable transaction.
