Our first investments are in progress—more to come soon.
Zesty Enterprises is a modern holding company focused on acquiring, developing, and growing small businesses with real potential—and real character.
We’re not here to crank out copycat concepts. We’re here to craft lasting, local brands that operate with precision and feel alive. Whether it's a neighborhood restaurant, a service-based hustle, or a retail concept with untapped edge, we believe in building with care, clarity, and a bit of creative flair.
Zesty Enterprises was born from a simple idea: that small businesses deserve bold thinking, smart systems, and a little bit of soul.
The name “Zesty” comes from a favorite line—one that reminded us that life, work, and business should have some spark. That they should be built with intention, joy, and just the right amount of irreverence.
We’re here to build brands that don’t just operate—they resonate.
We invest in and operate businesses that align with three core principles:
* Great Brand — Clear identity, strong voice, thoughtful design
* Great Systems — Operational infrastructure that scales
* Great Fit — A business that feels right for the people it serves
Zesty brings everything else: strategy, structure, creativity, and long-term vision.
