A few weeks ago Boehly became part-owner of my favourite American (it is also semi-global) large (100 plus units) pizza chain, California Pizza Kitchen.
I love their BBQ chicken pizza. They are considering opening some restos here in Sweden.
California Pizza Kitchen to be acquired by investor group
Consortium Brand Partners, Convive Brands, Eldridge Industries and Aurify Brands will look to lead the casual-dining chain into a new era of growth, with an eye on franchising and retail.
