Consumer

The U.S. economy is driven in large part by consumer response to ever-expanding choices in products and services. Thoma Bravo believes the consumer economy will continue to provide an opportunity to create successful, growing businesses. In this sector, we look for companies that have stable financial histories, strong brands, strong franchises and the opportunity to grow through acquisitions as well as product or service line expansion.

Although we are interested in investing across the branded products and services spectrum, we have special interest in companies in the following areas: food & beverage; health, wellness & beauty aids and services; automotive aftermarket; sports, leisure, entertainment and hobby products and services; catalog and internet retailing; housewares, home repair and home furnishings; gardening and crafts; and pet care.
