The leadership team at Accel outlined they have a plan of expansion throughout the United States, and intend to use a two pronged strategy of company growth and achieving growth through acquisition.
It is estimated by Accel its acquisition of the gaming brands will generate a revenue of approximately $25 million a year by the end of 2025. With an Adjusted EBITDA of $6 million for the same period.
This is the latest purchase from Accel Entertainment to underscore that strategy, while only four months ago the gaming operator acquired Fairmount Holding.
The acquisition of Toucan further expands Accel’s reach into the attractive southeastern U.S., market, where we believe there is significant untapped demand and aligns with our ongoing strategy to expand Accel’s presence both organically and through acquisitions. Toucan is a well-run and highly respected company that shares many of Accel’s values and entrepreneurial attributes. I am confident Toucan is the perfect partner for our company, and we look forward to helping Stan grow the brand.
