Cary Street Partners LLC Announces the Sale of City Ice Company
Cary Street Partners LLC announced today that Reddy Ice Corporation has acquired the City Ice Company (the “Company” or “City Ice”), a Chesterfield, VA based provider of packaged ice to customers throughout Central Virginia. Cary Street Partners acted as City Ice’s exclusive financial advisor. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
City Ice was originally established in 1903 as a traditional block and ice plant in Petersburg, Virginia. In 1998, Mr. Resnick moved the plant to Chester, VA, where he designed and constructed a state-of-the-art ice production facility. Through years of product development and a devotion to first-class service, City Ice became the leading independent ice distributor in Central Virginia.
“I have been so impressed by the many positive changes Reddy Ice’s new leadership brings to this industry. Many of our employees have been offered futures with Reddy, which means a great deal to me. More importantly, I feel they will provide my customers, whom I have deeply enjoyed working with, a continuation of the kind of quality and service they have come to expect from us”, said Mark Resnick. Resnick also thanked local firm Cary Street Partners for its role in facilitating the transaction. “From day one, Cary Street Partners served as my trusted advisor. Their team played an invaluable role in organizing our process, positioning City Ice and reaching out to the appropriate potential partners.”
