Mr. Z’s Fund Raising Corp. is a niche fundraising solutions provider serving the Midwestern United States. Since being founded in 1974 the Company’s extensive offering has provided elementary schools and other organizations innovative fundraising programs utilizing pizza, cookie dough, and a variety of other exciting product offerings. Promontory was engaged by Mr. Z’s to explore financial and strategic alternatives for the business and ultimately the Company’s owners decide that a sale of the business was the best alternative to pursue. After Promontory’s exploration of a number of options, an expanding fundraising business known as The Chip Shoppe provided the best set of economics and acquired the Company.
