Closes Acquisition of Boudreaux’s Cajun Kitchen By: ACCESSWIRE March 28, 2023 at 08:45 AM EDT CHARLOTTE, NC / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2023 / Amergent Hospitality Group Inc. (OTCQB:AMHG) ("Amergent" or the "Company"), owner, operator and franchisor of multiple nationally-recognized restaurants, today announced that it has closed the acquisition of Houston based Boudreaux's Cajun Kitchen. The first Boudreaux's Cajun Kitchen was established in 1999. Over the past 24 years Boudreaux's has established itself as the local Houston choice for exceptional Cajun cuisine in a value priced environment. Today, the brand boasts four locations, Fuqua, West Loop, Woodridge and Willowbrook and serves flavorful Cajun cuisine and seafood including crawfish, fried catfish, and gumbo. Through a commitment to consistent quality and hospitality, the brand has built a loyal following of guests throughout Houston. Mike Pruitt, CEO and Chairman of Amergent commented, "Amergent has historically focused on the micro-regional ‘Better Burger' branded concepts through its acquisitions of American Burger Company, BGR: The Burger Joint, BT's Burger Joint, and Little Big Burger. Over the past two years, we've enhanced our management team, paid down debt, and put in place a growth strategy to grow the best of our current brands, along with expanding and acquiring new brands outside the Better Burger concepts that are poised for growth. The Boudreaux acquisition is expected to be accretive to the Company." Recent news for Amergent, including the promotion of Mark Whittle to interim president, solidifies a strong platform for accelerated growth. Over the past 37 years, Whittle has developed thousands of locations for various brands throughout the US and abroad. His experience will be utilized to help further develop the Amergent brands, as well as continuing to drive organic financial growth within existing locations. Additionally, the Company has received full forgiveness of nearly $4.1 million in PPP loans, and a preferred equity investment of $2.5mm, expected to strengthen the Company's balance sheet. "Our thesis remains to acquire regional growth brands, retain what has made the brand's great and grow the brand into contiguous areas. The now closed acquisition of Boudreaux's Cajun Kitchen is a perfect example of just such a synergistic and complementary opportunity. Going forward, Lewis Nuzzie will continue as director of operations at Boudreaux's, and we look forward to offering all team members an opportunity to grow with the brand.
