Golub Capital provided a $200 million senior credit facility to support the merger of Downtown Locker Room, a portfolio company of Bruckmann, Rosser, Sherrill & Company and Sneaker Villa, a portfolio company of Goode Partners.

Golub served as administrative agent, sole bookrunner and sole lead arranger.

The combination of DTLR and Sneaker Villa will create one of the largest lifestyle retailers of footwear, apparel and accessories in the industry, with more than 230 stores in 18 states.

BRS has owned DTLR since 2005, at which time Golub Capital began its 12-year relationship with DTLR.

“We have been partners with BRS and DTLR for over a decade, and lenders to both DTLR and Sneaker Villa,” said Greg Cashman, senior managing director at Golub Capital. “BRS is an experienced multi-unit retail investor and we are proud to facilitate the merger of these two companies, and look forward to continuing our support of the company in the future.”
