I’ve known Carty since 1987 when he financed my initial acquisition of four Wendy’s restaurants when I exited the McDonald’s business. I’ve since relied on Carty’s advice and counsel as we’ve grown our business to almost 60 units. Carty has assisted us in financing engagements, M&A advice, and on the hiring of a CFO. He was also very helpful in assisting us in managing through the Wendy’s SO-III where we acquired additional locations in our core market. I would highly recommend Carty, and the C Squared team. No one knows the QSR industry better.
