In February, Carrols signed a definitive agreement and plan of merger with Cambridge Franchise Holdings to purchase 166 Burger King and 55 Popeyes restaurants in ten states for a value of $238m.

As part of the transaction, Cambridge will receive around 7.36 million shares of Carrols common stock and will own up to 16.6% of Carrols’ outstanding common shares at closing.

The company also signed an area development and remodelling agreement with Burger King Corporation (BKC), which pre-approved the company for continued growth via both acquisitions and restaurant development.
