Summarize with

OneRyan Global LLC, under the helm of G. Brint Ryan, has acquired a controlling interest in Mr Gatti's, according to a press release.

OneRyan previously purchased a corporate-owned Mr Gatti's restaurant in Austin, Texas last October. That transaction completed the company's transition to a 100% franchised system, concluding the re-franchising of all corporate-owned locations. OneRyan also owns the Mr Gatti's Family Entertainment Center in Big Spring, Texas.

Ryan will serve as chairman and Amanda S. Ryan will serve as vice chairwoman of the Board of Managers. Mr Gatti's corporate headquarters will remain in Fort Worth and the leadership team will remain in place, including Jim Phillips as CEO and KC Mann as chief financial officer. No changes to the senior management team are anticipated.

"Our deep appreciation for the Mr Gatti's brand, combined with our firsthand experience operating locations across multiple markets, made this acquisition a natural and exciting opportunity," Amanda S. Ryan, CEO of OneRyan, said in the release. "Mr Gatti's has built a category-leading platform in dining and family entertainment, supported by an exceptional network of franchisees. We look forward to helping the brand continue to grow and thrive."

"Brint is an exceptional leader with enormous respect for the heritage of Mr Gatti's," Phillips said in the release. "He brings a compelling vision for the brand's future, along with the expertise needed to help us reach our full potential. We are excited to have his leadership both as an owner-operator and as chairman as we enter this next phase of growth."

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Mr Gatti's has more than 200 locations in Texas and the Southeastern U.S.
