Convenience-store consulting and services firm W. Capra has appointed Tony Miller as partner. Miller will focus on the expansion of W. Capra’s mergers-and-acquisitions (M&A) services.
The appointment follows Chicago-based W. Capra’s launch in December of its new Mergers & Acquisitions for Convenience and Downstream Energy Retailing service, spearheaded by Partner Lisa Biggs. “Tony and I have worked together serving this industry for over 20 years. There is no stronger leader and advisor to help all players navigate the complexities of M&A and to drive the greatest value for each transaction,” Biggs said. “The M&A environment is highly competitive in this channel and Tony’s experience will be a tremendous asset to our team and our clients.”
Miller brings extensive expertise to W. Capra’s M&A services, leveraging more than 30 years in the convenience store, fuel retailing and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries.
He recently served as president and CEO of Delek US Holdings Inc. subsidiaries Southwest Convenience Stores and MAPCO Express. Under his guidance, Delek US developed and executed a comprehensive strategic growth plan designed to maximize shareholder value. This plan included enhancing brand awareness, optimizing the retail portfolio, increasing sales and revenues, creating an organization centered on operational disciplines and substantially growing net income while selling both retail organizations for a combined market valuation exceeding $900 million.
In addition to Miller’s sell-side and buy-side M&A experience with both large and small transactions, he has an extensive background in sales, marketing, operations and executive leadership.
“In today’s competitive world of convenience retailing where brand equity, customer loyalty and prime real estate are essential, mergers and acquisitions are key levers to value creation. I look forward to delivering strategies and portfolios that capture optimal transaction value and detailed action plans to ensure these benefits are realized,” said Miller.
The addition of Miller’s experience and track record enhances the team’s capabilities, better enabling clients to optimize assets and drive stronger results at each stage of the M&A lifecycle, the company said.
