SB Partners

SB Partners functions as an equity fund, specializing in acquiring and scaling multi-unit operations, primarily within the restaurant sector. It provides capital and strategic operational guidance, targeting compelling business concepts for acquisition. The firm partners with experienced operators, enhancing performance and expanding market reach through streamlined operations and growth-focused support, emphasizing strong management and fair valuations.

Founded by Dave Shryock around 2000, SB Partners emerged from his extensive background in commercial lending and community bank management. Shryock's deep insights from the restaurant franchise industry revealed an unmet need for equity and strategic support in smaller deals, inspiring this specialized, yet then-innovative, private equity approach for the sector.

The firm targets established multi-unit operations and promising single-unit businesses aspiring to expand their concepts geographically. SB Partners’ vision involves fueling this growth by supplying essential equity, connecting operators with seasoned management, and offering comprehensive business acumen. This strategy cultivates enduring prosperity through robust partnerships and the careful, strategic development of its portfolio companies.
