Everyone has their preference when it comes to pizza, but with the financial leverage provided by CapitalSpring, Buddy’s Pizza is making a comeback in the Midwest-Detroit area and beyond. Erik Herrmann, managing director at CapitalSpring, spoke on the pizza partnership with Robert Jacobs, CEO of Buddy’s, in a Nation’s Restaurant News article.

Buddy’s has been around for over 72 years and has been known as the originator of the iconic square pie. CapitalSpring was able to accelerate Buddy’s growth because of Buddy’s passionate customers, deep-rooted brand equity and overall substantial restaurant expertise.
