Swiss Chalet owner plans to raise $200M in IPO next month

Written By Unknown on Senin, 23 Maret 2015 | 22.39

Cara Operations Ltd., the Canadian restaurant company that owns Swiss Chalet, Milestones and Harvey's, aims to raise $200 million when it lists on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

According to the most recent documents filed, it will price its shares at $19 to $22, valuing the company at $1.1 billion. A firm price will be set the week of April 6.

 Cara, based in Vaughan, Ont., owns 837 restaurants across Canada with multiple successful brands. These are:

  • Swiss Chalet,
  • Kelsey's,
  • Casey's,
  • Milestones,
  • Bier Markt,
  • Montana's,
  • Harvey's,
  • East Side Mario's.

Cara, founded in 1883 to sell snacks and newspapers for rail and steamship lines in Ontario, was listed in Canada from 1968 to 2004.  The Phelan family took it private in 2004.

In 2010, Fairfax Financial Holdings, the Toronto-based investment house owned by Prem Watsa, bought a stake in Cara. Fairfax will retain as much as 41 per cent of total shares outstanding and Phelan shareholders plan to hold a 36 per cent stake, the documents said

The filing says Cara aims to pay down debt with the money it raised.  

Cara restaurants generated $1.7 billion in sales last year, making Cara the third-largest single restaurant owner in the country behind Tim Hortons and McDonalds.
