McDonald's agrees to sell Boston Market
By ASHLEY M. HEHER, AP Business Writer
Mon Aug 6, 4:32 PM ET
CHICAGO - McDonald's Corp. said Monday it agreed to sell its meat-and-potatoes Boston Market restaurant chain to private equity firm Sun Capital Partners for an undisclosed sum.
"This is consistent with our successful strategy to focus on brand McDonald's, a strategy that continues to deliver results," McDonald's spokesman Walt Riker said in a statement.
Richard Hurwitz, a spokesman for Boca Raton, Fla.-based Sun Capital, confirmed the agreement but declined to make further comment. Riker said the transaction will likely be completed in several weeks. He would not discuss details of the sale.
The transaction was first announced in a regulatory filing made by the world's largest restaurant company on Monday. In that filing, McDonald's said it had signed a definitive agreement to sell Golden, Colo.-based Boston Market in "early August."
The news of a sale came seven months after McDonald's acknowledged it was studying strategic options for the chain.
Boston Market, originally called Boston Chicken, was acquired in 2000 for $173.5 million as part of an initiative to diversify its business. Now the chain has 630 restaurants in 28 states.
Since then, McDonald's has pared down its partner brands, shedding Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., Donato's Pizza and its stake in Fazoli's Italian fast-food restaurants.
"It was more a distraction than anything," Morningstar analyst John Owens said of Boston Market. "McDonald's is really singularly focused on the Golden Arches, so this was not a surprise to me."
Sun Capital, which now owns Fazoli's, has a portfolio that also includes bakery chain Bruegger's Enterprises, Garden Fresh salad restaurants and cheese-and-meat retailer Hickory Farms.
McDonald's shares rose 94 cents, or 1.9 percent, to close at $49.46.

Don't give up on us, baby
Don't make the wrong seem right
The future isn't just one night
It's written in the moonlight
Painted on the stars
We can't change ours
Don't give up on us, baby
We're still worth one more try
I know we put a last one by
Just for a rainy evening
When maybe stars are few
Don't give up on us, I know
We can still come through
I really lost my head last night
You've got a right to start believin'
There's still a little love left, even so
Don't give up on us, baby
Lord knows we've come this far
Can't we stay the way we are?
The angel and the dreamer
Who sometimes plays a fool
Don't give up on us, I know
We can still come through
~instrumental interlude~
It's written in the moonlight
Painted on the stars
We can't change ours
Don't give up on us, baby
We're still worth one more try
I know we put a last one by
Just for a rainy evening
When maybe stars are few
Don't give up on us, I know
We can still come through
Don't give up on us, baby
Don't give up on us, baby

DON'T LEAVE ME THIS WAY

Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, I can't stay alive
Without you love, oh baby
Don't leave me this way
I can't exist, I will surely miss
Your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning, out of control
So come down and stisfy the need in me
Cos only your good loving can set me free
Don't leave me this way
I don't understand how I'm at your command
So baby please don''t leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Cos I can't exist
I will surely miss
your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you...
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, I can't stay alive
Without you love, oh baby

album: Tryin' To Get The Feeling (1975)
You're leaving too soon
You oughta try believin' just for a day or two
You're tryin' to be wise and that's a foolish thing to do
Close the door
You're leaving too soon
You'll never learn to fly unless you learn to fall
You'll never know the answers 'till you've heard the call
You can't turn your back until you face it all
Take my word
You're leaving too soon
You're leaving too soon
You oughta try believin' just for a day or two
You're tryin' to be wise and that's a foolish thing to do
Close the door
You're leaving to soon
Babe you shouldn't go until you know just what I mean
Now, "happy ever after", I have never seen
But still we might come closer than we've ever been
Come over here
You're leavin' too soon
You're leavin' too soon
You oughta try believin' just for a day or two
You're tryin' to be wise and that's a foolish thing to do
Close the door
You're leaving too soon
You're leaving too soon

Evernham completes partnership with Gillett
Evernham completes partnership with Gillett
Team to be known as Gillett Evernham Motorsports
By Official Release
August 6, 2007
12:14 PM EDT
STATESVILLE, N.C. -- Ray Evernham and George N. Gillett Jr. have announced the creation of Gillett Evernham Motorsports (GEM), a partnership combining Evernham Motorsports and the Gillett family where Evernham will remain a substantial owner and retain the title of chief executive officer.
The strength of Evernham's championship on-track performance and Gillett's off-track sports business experience creates a high-performance, high-energy platform to establish GEM's value and appeal to fans and sponsors, on and off the track.
Recognizing that the rate of change off-track has exceeded the change on-track in the past few years, Evernham forged a relationship with Gillett, whose diverse holdings offer unique business-to-business opportunities, sponsorship activation and fulfillment that will revolutionize what sponsors can expect from a NASCAR team.
Gillett is the owner of the NHL's Montreal Canadiensand a co-owner of the Liverpool Football Club in the English Premier League. Gillett's other business interests include the Bell Centre, home of the Montreal Canadiens and Gillett Entertainment Group (GEG), producers of some 700 sporting and entertainment events in numerous venues throughout Canada and the United States.
GEM will benefit from Gillett's existing network of sports and entertainment properties, resorts, auto dealerships and auto franchises offering unique access to sponsors and partners and a powerful global connection that no other team can offer.
"It's very exciting for me to deliver to sponsors and fans the opportunity to align with a worldwide sports leader," Evernham said. "With the business acumen of the Gillett family and its sports brands, we've greatly expanded our reach.
This will allow me to focus on our racing operations and team performance, while the Gillett family will focus on our business operations. It certainly allows us to capitalize on our strengths and position GEM for long-term success both on and off the track."
"Racing is in my blood," said Gillett, chairman of Booth Creek Management Corporation (BCMC). "It's not often you get to partner with a leader with Ray's reputation, talent and championship legacy."
Evernham, whom motorsports media voted The Greatest Crew Chief of All Time in 2006, spearheaded Dodge's re-entry into NASCAR in 2001 and earned a pole position in Dodge's debut at the Daytona 500 with driver Bill Elliott. Prior to founding Evernham Motorsports, Evernham served as Jeff Gordon's crew chief, earning three Cup championships and 47 wins in just 216 starts.
The transaction was initiated and negotiated by Matthew Doherty at McLaren Capital Partners in Los Angeles. Wachovia Securities advised BCMC.
Gillett's business interests include: Booth Creek Resort Properties, LLC, the owner of luxury ski and golf resorts in North America; Grand Targhee Ski Resort in Wyoming; WorldCast Holdings, a major fishing guide company in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. Booth Creek's automotive platform includes Summit Automotive Partners, LLC and Vista Automotive Group, owners of some 14 dealerships and 27 franchises in the United States. Other BCMC holdings are Coleman Natural Foods and Wheat Montana Farms & Bakery.
Additional announcements regarding the GEM partnership will be forthcoming.
Best ice cream: Cold Stone Creamery by Meghan Lobdell
|
This reaction is not new to the employees of Cold Stone Creamery on Main Street. Since its opening in February 2004, the store has been nothing short of a success.
According to owner Lisa Kopolovic, Cold Stone serves approximately 800 customers and makes more than 1,000 ice cream creations on a warm spring day.
Unlike most ice cream shops that thrive in the summer, Cold Stone's peak season is February to May, when the university is in session because students make up 80 percent of patrons, Kopolovic says.
Dara Messing, a Cold Stone employee and senior at the university, says the unique flavors and presentation are what brings customers back.
"People like being able to get cool stuff in their ice cream and watch it mixed together," Messing says. "It's like live Ben & Jerry's - plus, it's delicious."
She says working at Cold Stone has its perks, including all-day sampling. Messing says she doesn't mind the policy that employees must sing when tipped.
"I have two songs I really like," she says. "But when I work the day shift by myself and have to sing, that's embarrassing."
Messing and Small say they have both encountered interesting customers during their days as Cold Stone employees.
Messing says she has had two people come in, sample every flavor, then leave without making a purchase. Small says he once watched a man spin the brownie container around and start eating them. They are not samples.
They agree their funniest customers are girls who order the sinless ice cream, sugar-free and fat-free, then add fudge, Oreos and Reese's.
"It's like Burger King with a Diet Coke," Small jokes.
Cold Stone's most popular flavor is cake batter, which he says the store orders in bulk - three times as much as any other ice cream.
Customers had to temporarily survive without their beloved cake batter when it was recalled last fall. The recipe contained raw egg and rumors surfaced that customers were becoming sick in the mid-West. Since then, it has been reformulated and made a comeback in February, Small says.
Kopolovic, who was born and raised in Newark, says she and her parents, Peter and Sharon Kopolovic, decided to open Cold Stone because there were no ice cream stores they liked in the area.
Aside from serving premium ice cream, Cold Stone sponsors fundraisers for university and outside organizations, donating 20 percent of proceeds to different causes. This month, every weekday is booked for a fundraiser, Kopolovic says.
Junior Diana Gron laughed when asked if she had been to Cold Stone before.
"Oh yeah, are you kidding?" Gron says. "When I think of good ice cream, I think of Cold Stone."
