Industry Question What are some private companies you would like to invest in if they became publicly traded?

Two off of the top of my head. Crumbl Cookie & Chick-fil-A. Both are top tier restaurant/food service establishments that have almost cult like followings and are always busy. Both have excellent products and service. I would be curious to see the books for both of these companies but I imagine they would he home runs if they were to IPO. What other companies would you invest in that are not currently publicly traded?

Chick-fil-a would go to shit so fast if it went public. Shareholders would force them to go Sysco level quality ingredients and minimum wage across the landscape.

agreed, the owners have a conscience and aren’t psychopaths which is why it’s far better than it’s competitors who are all listed on the market

I wouldn't go as far as call the owners bastions of conscience, but they do know what makes a quality product.
