The Players
The $13.2-million acquisition, which will be announced today, will add up to 400 new stores to Peachtree's network.
Launched in 1995, Peachtree sets up Web sites and marketing plans for regional and independent grocers. The firm's site (www.PeachtreeNetwork.com) also sells cookware and related items and lets customers surf for recipes and nutritional advice.
Peachtree, which raised $2.4 million in its initial public offering in March, recently joined forces with the five-store Mourelatos chain in Quebec. It also works with grocery stores in 11 other Canadian cities and six U.S. urban centres.
MyButler.com, a San Francisco-based private company started by Montrealer Louis Brouillet, specializes in technology that helps grocers sort out the logistics of filling online orders.
Peachtree CEO Gregory Kalinin said the mix of myButler.com's technical expertise and Peachtree's know-how in Web-site content and marketing made the two companies a good fit.
Given the size of the U.S. market, the move was also crucial to Peachtree's growth, according to Kalinin.
"Regional grocers in Canada have between one and 20 stores in their chains," Kalinin said. "In the U.S., they have between 50 to 300. And regional grocers make up about 45 per cent of the entire shopping market in the U.S."
