Golf and Waffles?


By Bridget Lyons

Professional Golfer Phil Mickelson is taking a swing at the franchisee business. He recently made a bid to buy a Nashville based franchisee for Waffle House out of bankruptcy with his two business partners. GS Acquisitions LLC offered $20.2 million in cash and payments to the US Bankruptcy Court to bail out the ailing SouthEast Waffles, a 105-restaurant group that has locations in four states. The Waffle House parent company has a right to oppose the purchase and has declined to comment as of yet, however, they had placed an earlier bid of $19 million.
