IPO or Not
The chain has long been speculated as an IPO candidate. The company in 2019 raised $160 million from Clayton, Dubilier & Rice. The company had raised well over $300 million in various fundraising rounds. That said, the chain pulled back its plans to IPO in 2022.
Scott Svenson, co-founder and CEO of MOD Pizza told Restaurant Business in 2019 that the company controlled its destiny following its most recent fundraising, leaving open the prospect of an IPO. At the time, however, he said its most recent fundraising round would help the chain reach 1,000 locations.
“We could one day be a public company,” he said. “But at the moment, it’s not on our radar screen.”
