TSG Consumer Partners LLC is working with financial advisers on a potential sale of its majority stake in the Portland, Ore.-based coffee roaster and retailer, according to people familiar with the matter. The consumer-focused private-equity firm’s stake in Stumptown is roughly 90%, said a person familiar with the investment. It isn’t clear whether Stumptown founder Duane Sorenson will have a stake following any deal for TSG’s portion of the company.
中国的咖啡业到底适不适合引入私募基金?咱们先看看咖啡这一产品本身在中西方不同的表现形式。咖啡在欧美属于FMCG(Fast Moving Consuming Good)也就是说,咖啡属于日常生活必需品。老外早上起床不喝咖啡醒不了,上午下午不喝咖啡无法工作,晚上不喝咖啡睡不著觉。所以说在欧美,咖啡的供求关系几乎平等。而在中国,咖啡是一个奢侈品,全国的咖啡人口3%,所以只能算是一个Luxury Product。私募基金是一种回报率很高、铤而走险的投资方式,所投资的项目必须有直观的效果。在国内,一些咖啡业商户引进风投,打著咖啡馆的文化做动物园、牛排店什麽的大有人在。只能说一点:We are not ready yet!!!只有将咖啡文化在中国普及了、把咖啡人口百分比提高了,我们才有资格引进风投,否则拿著别人的钱打水漂,你对得起良心吗?
