FRISCO, Texas, Feb. 29, 2024 -- Mountain Ridge Capital ("MRC") is pleased to announce the closing of a $30 million senior secured credit facility for a regional distributor focused on fast food and fast casual dining.  The MRC facility refinanced the debt of another lender and will be utilized to manage through the onboarding of new customers and to execute on management’s growth and operational objectives, capitalizing on the enhanced liquidity and structural flexibility MRC has been known for providing.
