PHILOSOPHY

Dogwood Brands Company was formed in 2019 with a singular focus on building an enduring portfolio of franchised, licensed and small businesses in growth markets across the United States. The Company is an invaluable operational resource to cash-flowing and consumer-facing small businesses and is the architect of numerous successful acquisitions ranging from fast food to hair salons to specialized healthcare – Dogwood’s underwriting only targets business models that are asset-light, consistent and scalable.

We bet on our portfolio companies via capital commitments and active enterprise management; we only work with and for the businesses that we expect to own for the long-term. Dogwood is based in Houston, Texas and owned and operated by accomplished veterans from varied industries including quick service restaurants, retail and tech. Experts in acquisition and operation, the Company continually meets stakeholders’ expectations via fiscally responsible action and strategic brand aggregation.

Dogwood believes in creating jobs and growing local economies while managing a portfolio of businesses that allow all partners to share the upside and expand the pie.
