LBO Strike 2

Ok, so i'll generally agree with Mezzket's analysis of the Grocery Inc's LBO pontential.

My question to you reader: Give me a potential 2bn + LBO target and rational. One that works produces at least 20ish % IRR, w/ very little EBITDA growth assumptions. Like a a 5 year 3% EBITDA CAGR.
