Leonard Green & Partners, L.P.
 PROFILE
This Green's thumb is you-know-what when it comes to management buyouts. Leonard Green & Partners (LGP) specializes in friendly buyouts of mainly retailers and consumer products outfits, including Gart Sports, the #2 US sporting goods chain behind Sports Authority, and Petco Animal Supplies. The investment firm generally doesn't participate in day-to-day operations at its holdings; it does, however, take seats on the board to help direct strategic and financial development. Formed in 1989, LGP has invested more than $875 million in some 20 investments. It focuses on companies worth more than $100 million and does not invest in startups nor in technology-centric ventures.
