Operators by trade. Owners for generations.
Reagan Brooks launches, builds and operates a portfolio of businesses across foodservice, sports and entertainment, consumer goods, asset recovery, business services and real estate.
How we run things
We launch and acquire businesses we would run ourselves, and we keep the long view while we run them.
On ownership
We only launch or acquire businesses we’d run ourselves, and we run them like we’ll own them forever.
On time
We’re not in a hurry. We plan to own these businesses for a long time, not flip them.
On work
We prefer the plow horse to the show horse. The work that matters is rarely the work that is most visible.
Owners who show up to the work
We run these businesses ourselves, alongside the partners who build them with us.
A family's horizon
The goal is to hand these businesses down to our kids someday.
Hands-on
We’ve all run businesses ourselves, so we stay close to the day-to-day.
Rooted in the Rust Belt
We come from the Rust Belt and build accordingly: local teams, local customers, local partners and work that holds up.
