Transaction Synopsis

  • The deal was managed with the help of Ardent Advisory Group, which served as the exclusive financial advisor to Clean Sweep for this transaction.

* Denotes a partial company acquisition and/or divestiture.

Market Significance

The sale of Clean Sweep’s Lexington portfolio underscores the growing trend of regional operators refining their geographic focus to strengthen operational efficiency and capital allocation. By exiting a non-core market, Clean Sweep positions itself to accelerate growth in Iowa and Ohio, while creating an opportunity for another operator to gain immediate scale in Lexington. This transaction highlights the continued reshaping of market territories as operators pursue strategic density and consolidation to enhance competitiveness.
