Inside the sale of Hopdoddy Burger Bar

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Jeff Chandler, who is stepping aside as CEO of the fast-casual burger chain following its sale to Founders Table Restaurant Group.

We wanted to talk with Jeff about the deal and about Hopdoddy itself, along with other issues.

Chandler led the chain for a decade before its sale so we ask him about how he guided the company to its growth and to its ultimate sale.

But we spend most of the time talking about the deal itself. We talk about why Founders Table, how the deal came about, and the role played by the private equity firm L Catterton, which owns both companies.

We talk about what Founders Table will do for the company as well.

We’re talking about an acquisition on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.
