Marjack Company Inc. based in Landover, Maryland, is a distributor of candy, snack items, and specialty retail products throughout the United States. Leading Ridge partners grew the Company from $37 million to $158 million within seven years (27% CAGR), expanding operations from two distribution centers to eight owned centers with five contract centers servicing the United States. Under their leadership, sales and gross profit increased by double digits for five straight years. Mr. Coopersmith served as a mentor to the executive team, assisting the group in its efforts to manage growth, increase revenue, reduce expenses, and increase operating income, culminating in the preparation of Marjack for sale. Ultimately, Marjack was sold to a strategic buyer for an industry multiple in the top quartile.

Great Western LLC located in Hollywood, Alabama, is a manufacturer and master distributor of food and non-food products for the entertainment industry. This company was originally structured as a subsidiary of the Marjack Company, but was subsequently split into an individual company post-acquisition. When Leading Ridge management took over ownership of the split entity, the Company had a loss in the prior year, and through the management team’s leadership efforts, Great Western had turned a profit by the end of the first quarter. Leading Ridge management re-negotiated pricing contracts, expanded product lines, and developed a three-year plan to triple business and increase EBITDA to exceed industry standards. Additionally, the Leading Ridge partners provided coaching and development to newly-selected executive team members brought from levels within the organization to expand their business expertise. In due course, Great Western was sold to a financial buyer for a market multiple, providing a significant return to the shareholders, including the management team whom otherwise would not have had the potential for ownership prior to Leading Ridge’s acquisition.
