Guerrero Olivos was counsel to Grupo Bofill in the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Grupo Emporio La Rosa, one of the most important coffee and ice cream stores in Chile, which was recently elected as one of the best 25 ice cream stores in the world by “The Daily Meal”. The transaction included the acquisition of 5 companies.
This transaction is extremely relevant due that “Emporio La Rosa” is a very well-known local brand which has been praised internationally. Also because these kind of transactions in Chile (coffee and ice cream industry) are not frequent.
We conducted a thorough due diligence of the 5 companies including coffee and ice cream stores, restaurants and the production plants. Also, the business model of Emporio La Rosa included a franchising system. This was an extra challenge from a legal perspective.
