Who We Are
Who We Are
- Serazen means “iron horse.” Yes, we made that up! It’s named after an American Hall of Fame champion thoroughbred racehorse, Sarazen. We are a champion, and we are built tough and for fast growth. Serazen is a large franchisee of two top-tier, global franchise brands, Papa John’s and Hardee’s. Serazen started its operations in 2006 and grew quickly to 120 units located in 5 states today.
- Our main focus of growth is acquisitions. We are an aggressive investment firm that typically acquires existing markets. This is often achieved either by purchasing existing franchisees or acquiring corporate stores divested by the parent brand (re-franchising). Keeping with our “buy and build” strategy, we prefer to develop additional stores once we acquire desired markets.
Our Strategy
Our Strategy
Six pillars of our corporate strategy set us apart:

Operations Excellence – We take pride in proven operations excellence through performance driven results.

Best-In-Class Corporate Infrastructure – Our infrastructure is designed for growth. We are continually working diligently to build a “best-in-class” organizational structure to handle rapid growth.

Business Innovation and Technology (BIT) – We believe that technology is one of main drivers in operating any successful business. We maintain our own in-house application development team that has created our sophisticated enterprise application called BIT or Business Innovation and Technology.

M&A Capabilities – We believe that organizations must grow to survive. We have a dedicated team who is focused on sourcing and structuring M&A transactions. In addition, our corporate team fully understands what is required in successful post acquisition integration.

Corporate Culture and Values – We believe that building a solid organizational foundation of culture and values is critical to our success. As a “people business,” we understand that taking care of our team members is critical to the growth of our company.

Access to Capital - Through our extensive relationship with a primary financial institution as well as numerous senior lenders, we match our operational excellence and growth ambition with available equity and debt to execute our strategy.

We have strategically chosen to acquire established brands and focus solely on operating as a first-class quality franchisee. We take pride in utilizing various corporate resources that we presently have that typical franchise organizations do not. This means that we are very selective about the brands that we choose to partner with.
