Romero, founder of Mirasol’s Café, will remain to help grow the brand, develop marketing initiatives, focus on product development and seek future locations to develop into cafes. Romero and his family have run and operated Mirasol’s Café at the same location since 2006.

Generational Equity Executive Managing Director of M&A – Eastern Region, David Fergusson’s team, led by Senior Vice President, Ahmad Behjati, successfully closed the deal. Senior Managing Director Thomas Hamm established the initial relationship with Mirasol’s Café.

According to Behjati, “This transaction has been a win-win situation for all parties, especially for coffee lovers. I am looking forward to my next CHiPPi coffee at Mirasol’s Café’s new locations.”
