Zamp to Acquire Starbucks Brazil: A Major Move in the Fast Food Industry

Zamp (ZAMP3) announced it will acquire Starbucks’ Brazilian operations for R$120 million (about $23 million).

This acquisition marks a significant step for Zamp. It will expand its presence in the Brazilian market.

Currently, Zamp manages Burger King and Popeyes in Brazil. SouthRock, the previous operator of Starbucks in Brazil, filed for judicial recovery late last year.

They managed around 140 Starbucks stores across the country. This situation presented an opportunity for Zamp to step in.

The agreed price of R$120 million could change. Adjustments will depend on the number of stores acquired and inventory levels at the closing date.

This acquisition will take place through a competitive sealed bid process. This is due to SouthRock’s judicial recovery status.

Zamp has the right to match any third-party offers. They will receive compensation if they don’t win the bid.
