PROPELLED BRANDS IS HIGHLIGHTED IN FRANCHISE TIMES

Propelled Brands was highlighted in an article from Franchise Times clearly stating that the past 12 months has been a year of M&A, including new umbrella companies with catchy names, formed by franchisors who then acquire complementary brands.

This past March, Propelled Brands became the new multi-brand platform company of Fastsigns and NerdsToGo. At the helm is Catherine Monson, who’s also chair of the International Franchise Association. Then in July 2021, Propelled Brands acquired Suite Management Franchising. “I’m disappointed it took us a year and six months to make our first acquisition. You’ve got to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince,” Monson said about acquiring NerdsToGo, an IT services franchise, in October 2020.
