Strategic Acquisition Expected to Strengthen Balance Sheet Through Enhanced EBITDA Generation
DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Twin Hospitality Group Inc. (“Twin Hospitality”) (Nasdaq: TWNP), the parent company of Twin Peaks and Smokey Bones, today announced it has entered into a letter of intent to acquire eight Twin Peaks franchised restaurants in Florida from DMD Ventures, LLC for approximately $47 million in cash. The strategic transaction represents an opportunistic investment in a key growth market even as the Company’s long-term focus remains on franchise driven expansion.
The acquisition will bring the following Florida locations to company ownership: Davie, Fort Myers, West Palm Beach, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Cypress Creek, Doral and Naples. Upon completion, the transaction is expected to contribute approximately $76-$77 million in annual revenue and $9-$10 million in additional annual EBITDA. The incremental EBITDA contribution is expected to help reduce leverage, further strengthening the Company’s balance sheet and financial flexibility.
“We are delighted to bring proven, high-performing franchise locations into our corporate portfolio,” said Kim Boerema, CEO of Twin Hospitality Group. “These are some of our top performing restaurants, and Florida has consistently demonstrated strong performance as a key market for Twin Peaks.”
“The enhanced cash flow and increased EBITDA from these locations is expected to strengthen our balance sheet through deleveraging while enabling us to capitalize on incremental revenue and margin growth,” added Andy Wiederhorn, Chairman of Twin Hospitality Group.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, and is subject to completion of a definitive purchase agreement, financing and customary closing conditions.
