M&A activity continued to break records in 2021. In the U.S., private equity deal-making rebounded 50% over 2020. This is no surprise given the impact of COVID, as we’re seeing a year and a half’s worth of activity happening in just a few months.
Q4 ‘21 was one of the busiest quarters ever for transactions across the board, particularly in our industry, and restaurant M&A activity in 2022 is expected to be just as active.
