What Our Clients Are Saying

“When I decided to sell my business I researched companies who had the best transaction closing results, and I found that Matrix Capital was the top firm. They were helpful by first providing me with a valuation of my business and then finding a buyer who was the best fit for my employees and customers. I am glad that I made the decision to choose Matrix for there were many challenges along the way and they were there to help. Sean Dooley and Nate Wah were more than helpful in walking me through those challenges. I would recommend Matrix to anyone who was considering selling their business.”

“Selling a business can be stressful; you will need experts in that field to help you navigate through the process. We were grateful to have Matrix handle this for us.”

“We are committed to evolving and growing our Company based on our core competencies, and we engaged Matrix years ago as an advisor in that planning and evaluation process.  Based on our strategic goals, we decided to divest our convenience retail and branded dealer wholesale businesses to narrow our strategic focus on commercial fuels, propane, lubricants, automated cardlocks and car washes.  This transaction puts Santmyer in a great position to pursue future growth opportunities that align with these segments going forward.  The Matrix team ran a very structured process that yielded an outstanding result, and I would like to thank them for the expertise and dedication they provided throughout this transaction.”

“We are very pleased with the assistance Matrix provided in divesting our Holiday franchised fuel and convenience stores.  This is part of Coborn’s overall strategy to focus our growth efforts on the grocery store market.  Matrix’s efforts have led to the successful sale of our Holiday franchise stores to our long-term franchisor partner, Holiday.  The transaction provides continuity to our store employees and customers, as the stores will remain Holiday branded and continue to accept the Coborn’s MORE Rewards program. Matrix did an excellent job at meeting our strategic objectives in the sale.”

“In 2019 Matrix identified our deficiencies from a buyers prospective via their detailed evaluation.  Our team immediately embarked on a new approach to market.  We asked Matrix to re-evaluate in 2022 whereupon the decision to ‘go to market’ was made. I would recommend this two-step process to anyone considering the anguishing decision to sell as it can improve value considerably.  Transitioning out of the essential petroleum business has been an emotional yet a timely decision that Matrix facilitated professionally.”

To add the talented administrative, dispatch, maintenance and driving personnel of Jet Star to Penn Tank Lines is a real coup for us.  Cedric, John and the Matrix team were instrumental in helping us evaluate, negotiate and ultimately get to the finish line on this deal.  Matrix is a trusted partner adding great value to Penn Tank Lines and we can’t thank them enough for their efforts in getting this deal done.”

While the choice to sell the Company was not an easy one, I have known Spencer, Sean, and the broader Matrix team for over a decade, so selecting them to advise on the sale made the decision that much easier for me.

“It was not an easy decision for us to sell the business that our family and employees have spent over 50 years building.  It was very important to us that our employees and customers were taken care of with this transaction.  We needed to find a firm that could help us with this major decision and we found that with the Matrix team.  Spencer and Andrew lead us through the entire sales process from beginning to end.  Their expertise in this process helped alleviate a lot of the additional stress that comes with selling your business.  We are extremely pleased with the outcome.  We chose PacWest Energy, which is also a family business and values their employees and customers the same way we do.  We can’t thank Spencer, Andrew and the Matrix team enough for everything they have done for our family, employees and loyal customers.”

“Working with the team at Matrix on the sale process, and with Rich Spresser over the past several years has been a very positive experience.  While it was time for the current shareholders to monetize their investment, we look forward to seeing Pester grow with Rich’s further stewardship under the new ownership of Fortress and Phillips 66.  I am excited to see the businesses continue with such well-respected organizations.”

Their attention to detail and proficiency led to a mutually beneficial closing for both parties.”

“The Matrix team did an outstanding job working with both sides to arrive at a successful closing.”

“Selling our business was one of the most important decisions I’ve had to make not only for our family, but our co-workers too. When we met with Matrix I knew they were the advisors for us, they came prepared. Matrix led us step by step through the process and made sure we were fully aware of how everything would flow. When we began talks with Kwik Trip we were able to present a ‘book’ to them that was clear and thorough. The professionals at Matrix are proven experts in our industry and negotiated a very strong contract. Overall, we couldn’t feel better about our choice in selecting Matrix and Kwik Trip.”

“After selling the commercial, municipal and transportation businesses back in April, Gary and I reevaluated whether it made sense to continue in the retail business.  After much consideration, we decided it was time to move on to other opportunities.  It was not an easy decision for us to sell the retail and wholesale businesses our family spent 60 years building.  We have had many great relationships with our retail and wholesale customers over the years, and we believe the buyer will be a great fit for our customers going forward.  Matrix did an excellent job on getting the sale completed and worked diligently with the Martin Eagle team on both transactions. We really appreciate their meticulous attention to detail and all their hard work.”

“The AWG brand is nationally recognized for excellent customer service, loyalty to employees, and above all else operating with integrity.  I can’t think of a better partner to help Bestway’s employees usher in this next phase of growth. The team at Matrix has been exceptional in every respect.  The level of service and support I received was incredible, and they were able to create immense value for my business during the transaction process.”

Their expertise is second to none, and I give special thanks to Spencer Cavalier, Andrew LoPresti, and Nate Wah.”

“It was not an easy decision for us to sell a part of Martin Eagle Oil that our family has built and run for over 60 years. We have had great relationships with our municipal and commercial customers over the years, and the Southwest Transport team has efficiently served and met all our customer delivery requirements. U.S. Venture will be a good fit for this business given their terminal located in Fort Worth and their overall investments in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Gary and I believe that U.S. Venture, also a family-owned company, will be a great place for our employees to continue their careers. I really appreciate all the efforts of the Matrix team in bringing this sale to fruition; they have worked tirelessly to market and complete the transaction.”

“When we approached Matrix, we asked them to explore alternatives to create liquidity for a departing shareholder.  Their marketing efforts generated attractive opportunities from a wide range of capital providers; however, we ultimately decided that a minority capital raise through a senior debt instrument was the right solution and best achieved our objectives.  The Matrix team was extremely professional throughout the process and did an excellent job managing a highly complex transaction.”

“With the sale of this propane rail terminal, Matrix helped us divest a non-core asset. We will continue to focus on our core business areas as well as accelerate the search for acquisitions that support our strategic growth targets.”

“After more than 68 years as a family-owned business in the marine industry, we are incredibly pleased to partner with Patrick which will continue to support the G.G. Schmitt team and our plans for continued growth and expansion.  We are excited to be a part of the Patrick family of brands and are looking forward to the next phase of executing on the many strategic initiatives and opportunities in front of us. We couldn’t have asked for a better representative than the Matrix team during this critical process.  Their transactional expertise matched with their knowledge of the marine sector were instrumental in helping us achieve this outcome.  We are so appreciative of all of their efforts.”

“Our Board of Directors, executive management team, and Schmuckal family members explored many options before selecting Matrix to run a structured process and guide us through the sale of the family business. While it is emotional and challenging to sell a business, we felt the time was right for the family to find another company with the culture of a “family owned and operated” business to take our operation into the future. Matrix provided a high-level of professionalism and ran a very productive process that helped us accomplish our goal. We thoroughly enjoyed working with the Matrix team, including Spencer Cavalier, Andrew LoPresti, and Martin McElroy, and are genuinely excited for our customers, employees, and shareholders to be selling our business to True North Energy.”

“We are thrilled with the outcome of this transaction and what it means for [RESCO CEO] Mike Bourn and his tremendous team.  We’ve enjoyed our partnership with Mike over the past six-plus years and have the utmost confidence that RESCO’s employees and valued customers will yield significant benefits as a result of this transaction.” Regarding Matrix’s services, Mr. Moore added, “Matrix assisted RTK in acquiring RESCO in 2012 and we couldn’t be more pleased to have utilized their services again in this transaction.  The team was extremely professional throughout the engagement and ensured that the ultimate outcome was beneficial for all constituents.”

“I have no doubt that RESCO’s partnership with the Locke team will be extremely beneficial for our valued customers, vendors, and employees.  I look forward to continuing to grow our footprint in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast with the support of the Locke organization.  As this chapter of ownership closes, I am thankful to my partners at RTK for their commitment to the business over the past several years.  I am also extremely grateful to the team at Matrix for their guidance throughout this critical process.”

“Selling one’s life work is a very challenging and emotional decision. Cedric and the Matrix team were extremely helpful in navigating this process. Their support and help, blending together the desires of us and the buyer, were invaluable. We thank them immensely. I would also like to thank the entire Apache team, our employees, customers, and suppliers. Your dedication was our success. Additional thanks goes to Jim Castle for having the faith and foresight to become partners with a 23-year-old over 27 years ago. Finally, a special thanks goes out to my lifelong friend, teammate, and brother, Willie Castle, whose decision to join us 12 years ago enabled us to take Apache to a new level. I wish my late father was around to see this”

“The team at Matrix has been tremendous throughout this entire process. Their enthusiasm and dedication to finding the best transaction for my family and Certified Tire has been tireless. I would recommend Matrix to anyone and I am incredibly grateful for their efforts.”

“It was not an easy decision to sell a family run business of 40 years. My grandfather and father built a strong foundation for the growth of the Markette brand. That growth would not have been possible without our outstanding employees and loyal customers. Bunky and I wanted to ensure that the new owners valued the family-oriented culture of Markette and upheld the values of excellence in customer service and commitment to community service. Matrix assisted us in finding new owners that fit the bill. In addition, Matrix provided strong support and professional guidance through every step of the process to ensure a smooth transition to the next phase. Matrix was the right choice for us.”

“In the face of what could have been an exhausting and emotional process for Joe and I, the Matrix team was an unwavering source of support, providing professional and thoughtful guidance throughout the engagement. We can’t imagine getting this transaction done without their assistance, and we feel fortunate that we selected Matrix as our advisor.”

“The team at Schmitt Sales has done a tremendous job as we expanded our footprint in the Northeast through the leadership of Peter Glor. As we all know, this business can be unpredictable and challenging. The friendships that we have created not only with our customers, but colleagues in the industry have added to the success that we have enjoyed. I’d like to thank my dedicated team of employees for their hard work throughout the years. I’d also like to thank Matrix for their superior customer service and support through this entire process.”

“Lots of emotions were involved in making our decision to divest. While those emotions are important, there are business interests that need to be organized. Any family business considering to make such a change must have professionals that advise them well in advance of the ultimate sale. I could not dream of attempting a deal alone. The Matrix team are well versed in the intricacies of our industry and gave us good counsel as we navigated the transaction. Additionally, we are happy to call the team friends,”

“We’re very grateful for the guidance and insight Matrix provided to help Giant Eagle secure this growth opportunity. At GetGo, our positioning of taking the ‘cons out of convenience’ means we offer the highest quality fresh foods, products and services to our customers. Our acquisition of the Ricker’s chain supports this strategy, and we look forward to bringing together the best of both businesses in Indiana.”

Their professionalism and expertise has exceeded any expectations that I might have had on how this endeavor might go. And I want to compliment the folks at SMO and The Wills Group as well for their outstanding cooperation to diligently consummate this project. Finally, I want to express my deepest appreciation to the employees of Jiffy Mart and Tevis Oil for their wonderful efforts to create and sustain a wonderful group of stores in our community over the past thirty years.”

“I would like to thank all of our employees who helped build our company over 37 years. Coming to the U.S. with only $100, my parents are the epitome of the American Dream. This was a very difficult process to go through, but having a team like Matrix made it much easier. They made sure that every detail was considered to ensure we were in the best possible situation. Our family is also thankful to our legal team led by Richard Few and his associates at Parker Poe for guiding us through the legal process.”

“Matrix has been a great advisor and partner throughout this entire journey. They conducted a thorough financial analysis and handled detailed contract negotiations which resulted in a successful conclusion. Matrix’s knowledge and experience in this area definitely helped us increase the value of our business.

“When it came time to market our stores, I wanted to hire the best advisor I could find. I will go through this process of selling our fourth-generation company only once in my life and am confident Matrix was the best partner to help me get it right. Matrix did a fantastic job managing the process from beginning to end, exceeding our expectations every step of the way, and I am extremely pleased with the service they provided. I am delighted to have a fine company like Enmarket purchasing our business and retaining our wonderful, dedicated team of employees while continuing to service our great customers.
