Freeman Spogli has shared our vision since their investment and together we’ve leveraged their extensive experience with consumer-oriented businesses to help achieve this goal while more than doubling our clinic footprint.”
“Our partnership with Freeman Spogli has been incredibly successful. Together, we've grown significantly, ensured a smooth leadership transition from founder to the next generation in the family, and expanded our offerings for both employees and customers - nationwide. The Kamps family remains engaged, and FS has proven to be a valuable partner through it all.”
“Our partnership with Freeman Spogli has allowed us to take City Barbeque to new places, give our amazing employees additional opportunities to grow, and bring smiles to new guests and raving fans across the country.”
