Retail Food Group rescue package

Hey guys, has anyone followed the RFG deal with Soliton? Would be interesting to hear any takes on the potential new owner's turnaround strategy, assuming the deal goes through. A management overhaul seems imminent, but what angles are there to fix this business? There appears to be no willing buyer for parts of the business and operational performance is pretty much in the dumps.

No one eats at the places they own unless you’re a chump. If your restaurant list includes anything they own... you need to be jumped... hope I provided context... wrap it up and sell the inventory... it was a scale play... go vegan... extend brands into burgers or some shit... keep kicking the debt can... I think I worked on the initial roll-up... it was a shit idea from the start... it’s fucked
