The Fisher Group

What The Fisher Group does

The Fisher Group, LLC is a privately-held management firm founded in 2011 by Mike Fisher and headquartered in Dickinson, North Dakota, with a Southwest regional office in Chandler, Arizona. Operating as a holding/management company, The Fisher Group owns and operates more than a dozen portfolio businesses across construction, hospitality, retail, real estate development, and services, employing approximately 250 people in aggregate. Its core service offering is shared back-office management — consolidating accounting, billing, benefit management, marketing, information technology, strategic planning, and capital investment across its portfolio to capture economies of scale that standalone SMBs cannot.

The portfolio includes: The Pit Stop (convenience store/gas station), Paradise Dry Cleaning and Laundry (eco-friendly laundry services opened 2014 with 50-mile delivery), Dickinson Ready Mix (60+ year-old concrete products operation with plants in Dickinson, Killdeer, and Beach, ND), Durus Industrial (Phoenix-based industrial construction serving mining, power, energy, and water-treatment facilities), Players Sports Bar & Grill (full-service sports bar/restaurant), County Line Truck Stop (Highway 22 truck stop with overnight parking and food), Camp on the Heart (RV park on the Heart River), Tiger Discount (I-94 truck stop), Rock Solid Express (hauling, aggregate, grading, snow removal), and County Line Industrial Park (21-lot industrial subdivision on Highway 22, 70% sold). The portfolio is anchored on the Bakken oil region of southwestern North Dakota and is supplemented by a Southwest U.S. presence via Durus Industrial and the Chandler office.

The Fisher Group is owner-operated by principals Mike Fisher, Greg Medley, Suzanne Medley, and Scott Wax with no disclosed institutional investment. There are no public revenue, pricing, or contract disclosures; business is conducted via direct B2B arrangements with the portfolio companies and their customers.

Broad incumbents

• Martin Marietta Materials: Publicly-traded aggregates and ready-mix concrete producer. Comparable to Dickinson Ready Mix for pricing, transportation, and cyclical construction-demand dynamics, though at national scale.
• Ferrellgas Partners: Publicly-traded Midwestern propane and energy-services distributor with rural/SMB concentration. Comparable as a small-cap diversified industrial/consumer services holding with a similar regional and customer-overlap profile.
• Quanta Services: Large publicly-traded specialty contractor serving utilities, energy, and infrastructure end markets. Comparable to Durus Industrial's industrial construction services to mining, power, oil & gas, and water-treatment customers.
• MDU Resources Group: Regional diversified holding company with construction materials, utility, and pipeline operations anchored in the Northern Plains. Closest publicly-listed structural analogue to The Fisher Group's diversified operating-business model in the Bakken geography.

Direct peers

• Casey's General Stores: Large publicly-traded convenience-store and fuel retailer most comparable to The Fisher Group's Pit Stop subsidiary. Provides a margin and growth benchmark for the small-format c-store/gas-station component of the portfolio.
• Knife River Corporation: Publicly-traded aggregates, ready-mix, and construction services company operating in the Northern Plains including the Bakken region. Most direct peer for Dickinson Ready Mix given geographic and product overlap.
• Pilot Travel Centers: Largest U.S. travel center network and direct competitor to The Fisher Group's County Line Truck Stop and Tiger Discount subsidiaries. Comparable truck-stop fuel/food/parking model, though at vastly larger scale.
• Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores: Major privately-held travel center and convenience operator with overlapping offering to County Line Truck Stop and Tiger Discount. Relevant comparable for unit economics in truck-stop fuel/parking and on-site food service.
• Kwik Trip: Large privately-held Midwestern convenience and fuel operator with overlapping model to The Pit Stop c-store/gas-station business. Comparable for unit-level profitability in small-format fuel/retail.
• TravelCenters of America: Publicly-traded (acquired by BP) operator of TravelCenters and TA Petro fuel/retail/dining locations. Direct competitor to the firm's travel-center subsidiaries and a useful valuation reference for the truck-stop vertical.
