FrogPubs SAS

FrogPubs SAS operates a chain of pubs in France, providing a blend of traditional English pub experiences with a diverse menu and a wide selection of beverages, including craft beers, catering to both locals and expatriates. FrogPubs SAS, founded in 1993, specializes in creating authentic English pub atmospheres within France, specifically in cities like Paris, Toulouse, and Bordeaux. The firm has successfully executed three deals, with its most recent transaction occurring on September 12, 2019, when Ciclad acquired a majority stake from Amundi Private Equity Direct. FrogPubs offers a unique mix of traditional English and local cuisines, alongside a robust selection of beverages, including craft beers and ales.

The venues are designed to host private gatherings and social events, attracting both locals and expatriates by providing a welcoming community atmosphere. In the most recent fiscal year 2023, FrogPubs reported revenue of USD 19. 55 mn and an EBITDA of USD 1. 37 mn, generated primarily from direct sales of food and beverages at their establishments, along with additional revenue from event bookings.

FrogPubs has plans to further expand its market presence in France by opening several additional locations, potentially targeting cities such as Lyon and Marseille by 2025. The funding received from the majority stake acquisition in September 2019 will be utilized to support this expansion strategy and enhance overall operational capabilities.
