Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Royalties - Acquisitions Anonymous Episode 113
Michael Girdley (@Girdley), Bill D’Alessandro (@BillDA), and Mills Snell (@thegeneralmills), talk about something a little different: We reviewed the potential purchase of royalties from Cherry Garcia ice cream, Ben and Jerry's popular ice cream flavor named after the iconic grateful founder, Jerry Garcia. We found a royalty stream too and we investigated it in depth to see if it was a good investment.
