Press Release:
June 15, 2020 Richmond, VA- Transact Capital Partners is pleased to announce that Yellow Umbrella, a specialty grocer of fresh seafood, meats, prepared foods and provisions, has been acquired by a private investor.
Transact Capital Partners served as the exclusive financial advisor to David Whitby, President of Yellow Umbrella, with George Sydnor managing the transaction.
Tom Brown, a private investor, is pleased about the acquisition, saying “I won the deal with a pre-emptive offer, helping the owner receive what he wanted, and I got what I felt was a fair deal. This can be a stressful process, but this was as smooth as could be expected. I have been involved in numerous acquisitions and I was pleased with how this one was conducted.”
David Whitby, owner and seller, said: “I was very happy with the deal. The Yellow Umbrella has been in the family for over 40 years. What started as a roadside stand by my father George Whitby has evolved into a local “staple” for fine food. It was important to find a buyer who would appreciate and carry on the history and traditions of Yellow Umbrella. I feel good about Tom Brown and his family carrying these values forward; our legacy will continue on under their ownership.”
