Primary Insight
What Stands Out
- Platform building is common: buyers acquire dealership groups or multiple operating assets while keeping local store operations going under new ownership.
- Brand and operating-business combinations appear alongside retail footprint deals (e.g., acquisitions that add brands to multi-brand platforms or combine DTC with broader operating scale).
- Health & wellness and lifestyle/apparel brands show up as key subsectors in addition to general retail.
- Geography clusters around specific growth pockets—Colorado, New Jersey, Ohio, Arizona, New York, Kentucky, Texas, and Ontario.
