Franchise Group owns and manages several retail outlets, including Pet Supplies Plus, Wag N' Wash, American Freight, The Vitamin Shoppe, Badcock Home Furniture & More, Buddy's Home Furnishings and Sylvan Learning. The company's largest shareholders include Brian R. Kahn and his private equity firm, Vintage Capital Management, LLC, who oversaw the acquisition of Franchise Group's various portfolio companies.

On May 10, 2023 , Franchise Group announced that Kahn and other members of his management team reached a deal to buy out the company's other shareholders for just $30 per share, which values the company at approximately $2.6 billion . The per share deal price is less than the 52-week high trading price of $44.25 per share, and it's also less than a $35 per share price target established by financial analysts.

Julie & Holleman is concerned not only about the inadequate deal price, but also about the conflict of interest arising from the fact that public shareholders will get cashed out at an inadequate price while company insiders will retain their interest and share in the company's substantial upside potential.

The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2023.
