TAMPA — Three years after founding Fitlife Foods, a prepared meals takeout store, David Osterweil has brought in new investors to take the business to the next level.
Osterweil said Friday that he has finalized a deal with investors to add locations in the Tampa Bay area and expand to other markets. Terms were not released, but he will retain majority ownership of the Tampa-based company, which has five locations and a sixth planned for Brandon.
The investors are Stuart and Tyler Lasher of Quantum Capital Partners, Keenan and Hannibal Baldwin of Baldwin Beach Capital, Bob Gries of Gries Investment Fund and Bahram Akradi of Life Time Fitness in Minnesota. Two have ties to the local gym community, a key client base for Fitlife. Akradi is opening a fitness center at International Plaza in April. Stuart Lasher was chairman of Lifestyle Family Fitness, which closed.
