Thomas H. Lee's Give & Go buys Uncle Wally’s Bake Shoppe
Give and Go Prepared Foods Corp, acquired last year by U.S. private equity firm Thomas H. Lee Partners, has bought the business of United Baking Co Inc and its affiliates Uncle Wally’s LLC and Vision Enterprises LLC. No financial terms were released. Based in Shirley, New York, Uncle Wally’s is a pure-play maker of premium muffins. Toronto's Give & Go said the deal represents the first expansion of its manufacturing footprint in the United States. It added that Uncle Wally's products will complement its own portfolio of thaw-and-sell products. Thomas H. Lee acquired Give & Go last August from OMERS Private Equity.
