What kind of year was 2025 for restaurant deals? In this episode, we look back on the past year and talk through what stood out most to us as brokers working closely with restaurant owners, buyers, and sellers. We reflect on how the year unfolded, what surprised us, and what stayed consistent even as conditions shifted.
We share a few transactions that were especially memorable, including deals that highlight strong operators, thoughtful transitions, and the kind of outcomes that remind us why we enjoy this work. We also talk about where we started to see encouraging signs, particularly in certain markets, and how those changes are shaping conversations heading into the new year.
Â
To close things out, we spend some time looking ahead and sharing a few personal reflections from the year, along with some holiday stories and moments that made us laugh along the way. It is a chance to wrap up the year, say thank you to everyone listening, and head into the holidays with perspective and optimism.
