EastPoint Sports LTD., LLC Acquires Wild Sports

EastPoint Sports Ltd., LLC (“EastPoint”), a Mason Wells Buyout Fund IV, LP portfolio company, announced today that it has closed on the acquisition of Wild Sales, LLC (dba Wild Sports). The transaction combines North America’s leading supplier of tailgate games with the leading supplier of home recreational sporting goods.

Wild Sports designs, sources, and distributes licensed and branded tailgate games, lawn games, and tabletop games. The company sells through sporting goods, e-commerce, mass, and specialty retail channels. Owned brands include KanJam and Proline Tailgating. Wild Sports is also a licensee for the NFL, MLB, NHL, and over 350 colleges. The company was founded in 2004 by members of management, who recapitalized the business in 2017 with investments from Centerfield Capital Partners, Cardinal Equity Partners, and Expedition Capital Partners. Certain selling shareholders reinvested proceeds into EastPoint. Wild’s management team will remain involved in helping build the newly combined businesses.

“Wild Sports’ tailgate games, lawn games, and tabletop games are a great fit for the growing home recreational sporting goods market that EastPoint serves,” said Mike Nally, Chief Executive Officer and President of EastPoint. “The addition of their branded and licensed products to our already broad product line offers retailers, E-tailers, and consumers a single source for indoor and outdoor fun.”

“Mason Wells was pleased to support EastPoint in its acquisition of Wild Sports,” said Chris Pummill, a Director of Mason Wells. “The acquisition fits perfectly with EastPoint’s strategy of acquiring complementary product lines and expanding its e-commerce presence.”
