Delectable Deals Headline This Week's Busy IPO Calendar

This week's lengthy list of IPO offerings, poised to be the busiest week since November 2007, includes a choice collection of consumer centric companies that may prove enticing to prospective investors. Teavana ( TEA ), Dunkin' Brands ( DNKN ) and Chefs' Warehouse ( CHEF ) all recognize that the way to an investor's heart is through his stomach, and to that end, these companies each address a different niche on the food pyramid. These delicious deals are three of 12 IPOs scheduled to price this week on the U.S. IPO calendar .

Background

Dunkin' Brands owns the Dunkin' Donuts breakfast and Baskin-Robbins ice cream chains. Through these franchised quick serve restaurants, the company stimulates the tummies of its customers with a leadership position in hot and cold coffee, baked goods and hard serve ice cream. The company now registers nearly 16,000 points of distribution in 57 countries, including large distribution chains in South Korea, Japan and various countries in the Middle East. The company generates the majority of its revenues through the initial franchising rights ($40,000-$80,000) and royalties as a percentage of gross sales (62% of 2010 sales). Central to Dunkin' Brands' continued success will be the opening of new locations in the relatively untouched western states, as well as continued expansion overseas. As of December 25, 2010, there were 109 Dunkin' Brands stores in the entire western U.S., or equivalently one store per 1.2 million people vs. one store per 9,700 in New England and New York. Dunkin' Brands was purchased by Pernot Richard S.A. in 2005 and subsequently acquired by Bain Capital, Carlyle and Thomas H. Lee for $2.4 billion in 2006. There have been 21 (22% of total deals) private equity-backed deals to come to market this year , raising $16.2 billion (59% of total proceeds) with an average return of 20%.

Teavana is a specialty retailer of loose-leaf tea. Unlike Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks, Teavana is not a quick serve station for hot drinks. Rather, the company presents itself as a purveyor of premium teas, offering 100 single-estate and blended premium varieties that it sources from premium tea gardens, estates and brokers in China, India, Japan and Korea. Teavana's teas retail between $3 and $40 per 2 oz. container, and it also offers a host of tea-related merchandise with a price range of $4-$250. Founded in 1997, the company has grown from just one store in Atlanta to 161 company-owned stores and 19 franchised locations primarily in the U.S. The company aims for continued growth and has plans for an additional 300 stores to be opened in the U.S. alone.

Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming Tea is presented as a cleanser. But it’s actually more of a laxative turned “weight loss supplement.” According to Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming Tea, it stems from ancient Chinese medicine, improving stomach function, enabling the body’s own healing mechanisms, and of course helping you to cleanse in order to lose weight.

And while you might be surprised, – Papaya is a fruit rich in many different essential nutrients. But it doesn’t actually help you to lose any weight.

Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming Tea is nothing extraordinary, unless you mean extraordinarily bad! Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming Tea does not have a single clinically proven weight loss ingredient, and the laxative used might actually cause more problems than not. But that’s expected at this point. After all, in this market, companies can practically get away with murder. Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming Tea is just another product that has taken advantage of that.
