Try Dealroom → to support its next phase of growth. The deal is designed to fund the company's retail expansion plans, though specific financial terms were not disclosed.
Why now? The refinancing comes as Made by Gather looks to scale its retail footprint. Securing fresh credit facilities from two established lenders — TCW Private Credit Group and MidCap Financial — positions the company to move quickly on expansion opportunities in a competitive consumer food market.
