Andrew Dickow, President of Greenwich Capital Group and Townsend Street Capital, joins Cashflow Chronicles Open Forum to talk food & beverage M&A, building a national investment banking practice from a Michigan roots, and the story behind acquiring Detroit icon Buddy’s Pizza.
We dig into what makes a business truly sellable, how GLP-1 adoption is reshaping grocery, the shift toward “picks and shovels” manufacturing over brand-only plays, and the surprising resilience of the M&A market in 2026. Whether you’re a founder thinking about an exit or just curious what it takes to buy back a beloved local brand, this one’s worth the listen.

We discussed:
- 📈 The M&A market remains resilient, with increased activity driven in part by an aging generation of business owners looking to exit.
- 💰 Profitability matters again. Buyers are focusing less on revenue growth alone and more on sustainable, resilient businesses with proven performance through different economic cycles.
- 🏭 Owning manufacturing can create strategic value, giving companies greater control over innovation, costs, supply chain, and production but it also requires significant capital investment.
- 🍕 Buddy’s Pizza is a case study in brand revival, with the new ownership focused first on restoring quality, service, and the customer experience before aggressively pursuing growth.
- 🎯 Preparing to sell takes years, not months. Strong management, documented processes, reliable financials, customer diversification, and succession planning can significantly improve a company’s readiness and value.
