La Famille has completed a minority LBO with Indigo Capital
La Famille, a leading fast-casual restaurant group in France, has selected Indigo Capital as its new partner, supporting the company’s continued development and facilitating a managerial transition marked by the arrival of its new CEO, Alain Flipo.
Founded in 2019, La Famille is an innovative fast-casual restaurant concept aimed at both companies (B2B) and their employees (B2C). The model is built on three pillars: restaurants open for lunch five days a week; a digital canteen offering lunch delivery for employees; and a catering service for businesses. The brand has established itself as a leading player in the fast-casual restaurant sector, driven by its high standards for product quality and service. The company operates a fully integrated value chain, from product sourcing and recipe development to customer management, order tracking and delivery through its own in-house courier team. With an expansion strategy primarily focused on franchising, La Famille is now present in around ten major French cities, generating nearly $US60 million (€40 million) in business volume. The group aims to continue its strong growth trajectory, with plans to launch in ten additional cities over the next three years.
Indigo Capital is an independent investment firm, majority-owned by its investment team. Originally based in Paris, the firm also has offices in Milan and Lyon. Indigo Capital has completed more than 70 transactions involving capital restructuring and growth financing, working alongside founders, families and industrial groups.
Oaklins’ team in France acted as the exclusive financial advisor to La Famille’s shareholders in this transaction.
