Harris Williams advised MBC Companies, a portfolio company of Encore Consumer Capital, on its acquisition by Entrepreneurial Equity Partners.

Based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, MBC Companies is a premier frozen breakfast solutions provider serving retail and foodservice channels. The company is a category leader in French toast sticks and bites and offers a wide assortment of frozen breakfast items, including sandwiches, waffles, pancakes, and breads.


Encore Consumer Capital is another great repeat client of the firm and Harris Williams is excited to have advised them on this successful sale transaction.


Well-known for developing and growing food companies, Entrepreneurial Equity Partners is a great partner for MBC Companies as they pursue their long-term expansion plans and increase capacity for their customers.

We are thrilled to have represented MBC Companies and enjoyed working with the Encore Consumer Capital team on this transaction. MBC’s strong relationships with its brokers and tenured associations with blue chip retailers make them the go-to partner for frozen breakfast items. Frozen breakfast has continuously outperformed the frozen category as end consumers rely more and more on easy and convenient ways to prepare breakfast, and investors want to be a part of that strong growth trajectory.
