We advised Australia-based private equity firm Anchorage Capital Partners on the sale of Antares Restaurant Group to the Blackstone Group following a competitive global tender process.

Antares is headquartered in Auckland and has the exclusive franchise development rights for Burger King in New Zealand. Antares operates 75 Burger King restaurants nationwide and is in the early stages of an ambitious refurbishment and new store opening program to continue to broaden the appeal and increase the footprint of the Burger King brand within local communities across New Zealand.
