An Affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. acquired HuHot’s largest franchisee last week and plans to grow aggressively  

February 04, 2016 // Franchising.com // MISSOULA, Mont. - HuHot Mongolian Grills (“HuHot”), one of the fastest growing Mongolian grill concepts in the United States, continues to drive franchise growth with their strong unit economics, simple operational concept and the support of a family-owned franchisor. 

Most recently, Sun Capital Partners, Inc. (“Sun Capital”) a leading private investment firm specializing in leveraged buyouts and investments in market-leading companies announced that an affiliate has completed the acquisition of CCW, LLC (“the Company”), the largest franchisee of HuHot restaurants.

“The development plan for HuHot has always been strategic and steady,” said Molly Vap O’Shea, Chief Brand Officer at HuHot. “In an industry where the appetite in the market is to acquire high performing restaurant units, the Sun Capital acquisition proves that our model is working. We are excited to welcome Sun Capital to our family and look forward to helping them support their aggressive growth plans for the HuHot concept.”

In the last 12 months, HuHot has experienced more franchise interest than ever before. They attribute this interest to active franchisor support and their unique concept that allows for fast growth with low operational overhead. The recent Sun Capital acquisition validates HuHot’s concept, scalability, and strong unit economics.

“We take pride in providing full support to our franchises; from concept evolution to cutting-edge marketing tactics, our family-owned business continues to make decisions with the franchisees and the success of the brand equally in mind,” said Molly Vap O’Shea. “We contribute our success to our business model, the great relationships we develop, and the fact that franchise scale has reached a point where economics are well understood.”

HuHot currently has 57 locations, with more than six restaurants slated to open this year.
