Butterfly Equity, a Beverly Hills private equity firm with a focus on food companies, acquired a Denver-based healthy food chain for an undisclosed amount, the company announced on Feb. 27.

Modern Market, which operates 28 healthy fast-casual restaurants in Colorado, Texas, Arizona and Maryland, has a menu that can accommodate a wide range of diets, according to the company’s website.

Adam Waglay, who co-founded Butterfly with Dustin Beck, said in a statement that the chain offered “a highly-scalable concept with an incredibly loyal following.”

“Modern Market’s innovative menu, emphasis on convenience and ability to meet any dietary need result in a concept with immense, broad appeal and significant room to grow,” Beck added. “We believe that Modern Market’s offering is increasingly representative of the way that modern restaurant-goers prefer to eat.”

Co-Chief Executives Anthony Pigliacampo and Rob McColgan founded Modern Market in 2009.

Butterfly Equity also acquired Pacifico Aquaculture in Mexico in January.
