Broad incumbents

• AutoNation: Largest automotive retailer in the United States, operating over 200 dealerships across 15 states with extensive F&I and used-vehicle operations. Comparable as a scaled multi-brand dealer platform with integrated financial services, though US-focused and far larger.
• Yum! Brands: US-based parent of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Habit Burger, operating a global franchise model. Comparable as the franchisor of Little Caesars' competitor Pizza Hut and as the structural model Grupo Premier's food division replicates at scale.
• Lithia Motors: Largest US automotive retailer by revenue, operating hundreds of stores across mass and premium brands with growing digital retail (Driveway) and financial services arms. Comparable as a multi-brand, multi-channel dealer group, but mass-market skew differs from Grupo Premier's premium emphasis.
• Penske Automotive Group: Global premium-brand automotive retailer representing Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Audi and others across the US, UK and Europe. Closest analog to Grupo Premier's premium-brand skew and multi-brand structure, though geographically and operationally broader.
• Asbury Automotive Group: US automotive retailer with over 150 dealerships and a strong presence in premium brands alongside mass-market. Comparable in multi-brand dealer scale and integrated service operations, though US-focused and lacking the conglomerate-style diversification.
• Sonic Automotive: US automotive retailer with EchoPark used-vehicle stores and a franchise dealership network featuring premium brands (BMW, Mercedes-Benz). Comparable premium-brand dealer mix and growth-oriented capital allocation.
• Group 1 Automotive: US and UK-based automotive retailer operating over 200 dealerships with a meaningful premium-brand mix (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota) and integrated F&I. Comparable premium-brand weighting and multi-geography exposure, though publicly traded and US-anchored.

Direct peers

• Alsea: Mexico's largest restaurant operator, master franchisee for Domino's, Starbucks, Burger King, Chili's and others across Mexico, Spain, Argentina and Colombia. Most directly comparable to Grupo Premier's Premier Alimentos division as a Latin American multi-brand franchise operator with proven cross-border expansion capability.
• Grupo Famsa: Mexican multi-brand retailer and automotive financier with operations in furniture, electronics, auto sales and consumer lending. Most directly comparable as a Mexican family-controlled conglomerate combining retail, automotive and financial services under one roof, though more retail-skewed than Grupo Premier's dealership-led mix.

Others

• Fibra Uno: Mexico's largest real estate investment trust, owning and operating a diversified portfolio of commercial, industrial and retail properties. Comparable as a benchmark for the value and recurring-income profile of Grupo Premier's 149,695 m² of owned rentable real estate.
