Grupo Vierci's acquisition of Popeyes' franchise in Panama
Arias, Fábrega & Fábrega represented Grupo Vierci, a company with a portfolio of recognized brands such as Burger King, Tim Hortons and Firehouse Subs, in the acquisition of Popeyes, a brand registered by Restaurant Brands International (RBI), becoming the only franchisor of the Popeyes restaurant in Panama.
This transaction was the result of a complex negotiation process among the buyer and seller, which involved, amongst other matters, the negotiation and obtaining of approval from franchisor Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Inc. For more than a decade ARIFA has been a proud partner to Grupo Vierci, accompanying its local subsidiary Adiser S.A. in every step of the way through its entry and then continued growth and consolidation in the Panamanian quick service restaurant market.
