JUPITER, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Benchmark International has successfully facilitated the acquisition of Palm Coast Sales, Inc. and Fourshore Partners. Palm Coast Sales, located in Jupiter, Florida, was founded in 2008 by Dan O'Connor. It is a value-added wholesale distributor of high-quality outdoor kitchen appliances, including premium grills, outdoor kitchens, grill carts, accessories, and specialty products. Its products are distributed to over 750 dealers in the Southeastern United States.

Founded in 2018, Fourshore Partners focuses on lower middle market buyouts in the U.S. and Caribbean. The firm targets companies with a track record of performance and consistent cash flow. Its team of operating professionals is very familiar with the distribution industry and intends to parlay that experience into an accelerated growth plan for Palm Coast Sales.

As part of the transaction, Dan O'Connor will remain a minority shareholder and board member. Kim O'Connor will continue with the organization as the Chief Operating Officer and board member. The transaction provides both continuity and growth opportunities for the company's customers, employees, and vendors.
