Three Hills Capital Partners (“THCP”) is pleased to announce a new investment in Castellet Hospitality (“Castellet” or the “Company”), a rapidly growing, resilient, budget hotel group headquartered in Marseille. THCP has invested a total of €61.5 million of preferred capital primarily to support Castellet’s buy-and-build strategy. The transaction sees THCP partner with French family office Sofival, bringing additional funding and expertise to the deal as existing owners of another hotel group. The deal marks the first investment from THCP’s fourth fund, a continuation of its investment strategy of providing tailored capital solutions to high-quality European mid-market companies led by outstanding entrepreneurs. Furthermore, it also represents THCP’s first transaction in France, after more than two years of franchise building in the market. 

Founded by CEO Gilles Larrivé in 2017 and operating across the South-East of France, Castellet is a portfolio of 22 budget and midscale hotels, four of which were acquired as part of the transaction, mostly operating under the Accor, Louvre Hotel Group, Marriott and B&B Hotel franchise brands. With more than 20 years’ experience in the hotel industry, Mr Larrivé has replicated his prior success at Castellet, establishing a robust hospitality business operating in the most resilient segment of the market. The group’s success to date can be attributable to its high-quality portfolio and operational expertise.  

Thanks to THCP’s funding and operational support, Castellet can continue to pursue its ambitious growth plans and buy-and-build strategy. THCP has made prior investments in the hotel sector, including Borealis and TVHG, and will leverage its experience in partnering with successful operators to support Mr Larrivé and Castellet through its next phase of expansion. 

Victor Benazech, Investment Director at THCP, said: “Castellet Hospitality embodies the characteristics of a typical THCP transaction as it presents the opportunity to support a first-rate business, founded by an experienced entrepreneur with ambitious growth plans. With a strong pipeline of opportunities already in place, we look forward to partnering with Mr Larrivé to support Castellet Hospitality with its M&A strategy and cement its position as the region’s leading hotel group. With our latest fourth fund, we are pleased that we can continue to support entrepreneurs unlock the full growth potential of their business with our flexible funding solutions.” 

Gilles Larrivé, Founder and CEO of Castellet Hospitality said: “THCP has a deep understanding of the opportunities available in hospitality across European markets. Thanks to the team’s strong expertise in the sector and flexible offering, they were the obvious choice for Castellet Hospitality to partner with as we enter our next phase of expansion. We are grateful to be working alongside a team with ambitions that match our own as we accelerate our long-term buy-and-build growth strategy and continuing identifying development prospects.”

Three Hills Capital Partners (“THCP”) is pleased to announce the closing of a €15.0 million preferred capital investment in Pelostop (the “Company”), a leading provider of laser hair removal services headquartered in Barcelona.  The deal was financed c. 80% from THCP’s second fund, while the remaining capital was provided by Es Vedra Capital Advisors (“EVCA”), an advisory firm focussed on providing growth capital to companies in the consumer, retail, technology, and medical sectors.

The investment will be made via a combination of debt and equity, including a €12.1 million loan and a €2.9 million preferred equity investment, to acquire a 12% equity stake in the Company. The capital provided will allow the current shareholders to consolidate their ownership of the Company as it embarks on a roll-out plan to further grow its brand.

Founded in 2005, Pelostop is a ‘pure play’ laser hair removal chain in the Spanish market, operating 57 owned stores principally in street-side locations. The Company is truly trans-peninsular, with locations in cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville, among others. Since its founding, the Company has served over 110k clients, making it one of the larger laser hair removal chains in the country.

Francesc Casanovas, CEO of Pelostop, commented: “This transaction has allowed the current shareholders to reinforce their ownership of the Company, and has provided additional resources for our planned expansion during the next five years. During this new era, we will confront the tasks facing the Company with the support of our new partners, whose backing in this project we very much appreciate. We are confident that we will achieve the objectives we have set out for ourselves.”

Lance Contento, Investment Manager at Three Hills Capital Partners, commented: “It has been a pleasure to work with Mr. Francesc Casanovas and Mr. Luis Jonama over the past few months to finalize this transaction, and we look forward to serving as their partners moving forward. We believe that they have done an exceptional job building Pelostop into one of the strongest laser hair removal chains in the Spanish market, and we are excited about the Company’s many opportunities to grow further over the coming years. At Three Hills Capital Partners, we strive to partner with capable, driven management teams, and we have no doubt that we have found just such a duo in Mr. Casanovas and Mr. Jonama.“

Mauro Moretti, founder and Managing Partner of Three Hills Capital Partners, commented: “The investment in Pelostop marks the first step for Three Hills Capital Partners in Spain, a market that we have been studying and analyzing for the last two years, which is now becoming a core market for us. Our partnership with Pelostop’s management has been a key ingredient for this first deal in Spain and we look forward to identify other successful Spanish entrepreneurs to back in the coming years.”

Montalbán Atlas Capital acted as exclusive financial advisor to Pelostop for the transaction. The legal advisers were Cuatrecasas on behalf of Three Hills Capital Partners and Es Vedra Capital Advisors, and Alentta Abogados on behalf of Pelostop. E&Y acted as adviser for commercial and financial due diligence.
