Primary Insight
What Stands Out
- Strategic buyers range from retailers and operators (e.g., AutoNation, Cencosud) to private equity and investment platforms (e.g., Platinum Equity, Gemspring Capital).
- Format expansion appears in deals like Cencosud’s move to add cash-and-carry wholesale in Colombia.
- Capability upgrades are explicit in Bed Bath & Beyond’s acquisition of installation and project execution businesses.
- Geographic spread is broad across the U.S. and internationally, including South Africa, Colombia, and Hungary.
- Brand continuity and long-term arrangements are part of select transactions, such as ADNOC Distribution’s planned Shell brand licensing in South Africa.
