Colorado Certified Restaurant Broker® Expands to Colorado Springs, Earns IBBA Conference Speaker Invitation, and Wins Seat on State Brokerage Board – All Within Her First Year

In Her First Year, We Sell Restaurants Partner Allison Gregory Has Already Rewritten the PlaybookPalm Coast, FL  (RestaurantNews.com)  One year ago, Allison Gregory launched her We Sell Restaurants franchise in Aurora, Colorado. In that time, she has expanded into a second territory covering Colorado Springs, been invited to speak at the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) Annual Conference, one of the industry’s most prestigious platforms, and been elected to a seat on the Board of Directors of the Colorado Association of Business Brokers and Intermediaries (CABBI).

For We Sell Restaurants, it is a debut unlike any the company has seen. The IBBA speaking invitation places Gregory among a select group of practitioners recognized for meaningful contributions to the craft of business brokerage. Her session will address sales, a subject she has already proven in the field. The CABBI board seat, meanwhile, reflects the trust and respect she has earned from peers across the Colorado brokerage community in a remarkably short time.

Gregory’s trajectory makes more sense when you understand what she brought to the role. A former restaurant owner, she entered brokerage with direct knowledge of what is at stake on both sides of a transaction. She also carries credentials that have no precedent in this space: a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, an Applied Data Science certification from MIT, and active doctoral work in International Business. In practice, that means clients get an advisor who can read a lease, model a valuation, and spot operational inefficiencies in the same conversation. Backed by a nationwide buyer database and a high-traffic online marketplace, Gregory is able to connect qualified buyers and sellers more efficiently than traditional brokerage models.

“My own experience as a restaurant owner gave me a deep appreciation for what’s at stake in these transactions. I understand what sellers have built and what buyers are stepping into.

Colorado Springs is a dynamic, growing market and I’m committed to bringing the same rigor and care to buyers and sellers there that I have in Aurora.”

— Allison Gregory, Certified Restaurant Broker®, Aurora & Colorado Springs

We Sell Restaurants was founded by Robin and Eric Gagnon, who transformed a fragmented brokerage landscape into a specialized, system-driven national brand focused exclusively on restaurants, delivering faster transactions and stronger outcomes for buyers and sellers. The company operates nationwide, maintaining a live listing inventory of nearly $600 million on its restaurant-for-sale marketplace, WeSellRestaurants.com, spanning independent restaurants to multi-unit franchise resales. All franchise partners are Certified Restaurant Brokers®, credentialed to advise on every dimension of a restaurant transaction.

“What Allison has accomplished in her first year would be remarkable over five. It’s also a validation of what we’ve built – the systems, the platform, the training – designed specifically to help partners like Allison hit the ground running and accelerate fast.

She has expanded her territory, earned a speaking platform at the industry’s premier conference, and won the confidence of her peers across Colorado, all while delivering for her clients. This is exactly what franchise partnership looks like at its best.”

— Robin Gagnon, CEO & Co-Founder, We Sell Restaurants
