*Boxwood Successfully Completes its 5^th Residential Services Franchisee Transaction*
*JUPITER, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 1, 2024 / *Boxwood Partners is pleased to announce the sale of Panther Overhead Door, LLC ("Panther" or the "Company"), a leading franchisee within Precision Garage Door Service ("PDS"), a Neighborly® company, by Impact Home Services ("Impact"), a franchisee of Precision Garage Door Service, Mr. Rooter, and Mr. Electric, which all three brands are part of the Neighborly® community. Impact was formed by Shirin Kanji in 2021 and partnered with Eagle Merchant Partners, an Atlanta-based private equity firm, in 2023.
Boxwood Partners, a leading boutique middle-market investment bank, acted as the exclusive sell-side advisor to Panther on the transaction. The transaction was led by Brian Alas (Managing Director), Madison Day (Vice President), John Atkinson (Associate) and Drew Asadorian (Analyst). The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Panther transaction marks Boxwood's fifth franchisee transaction and fourth within the Neighborly system within the last year.
The leading garage door franchise with more than 100 locations nationwide, Precision Garage Door Service was acquired by Neighborly in 2020 and has grown considerably under the home services company's vision. Precision Garage Door Service has a clear competitive advantage due to lead generation, technology, inventory, sales processes, speed to service customers, and the ability to attract talent.
"We're very grateful to the Boxwood team for locating the right solution for Panther," said Doug Bencsko. "The Impact team was a logical fit, both culturally and operationally, to optimize the Houston market."
