Sleep Country Canada and Westerkirk Capital Inc.

: Sleep Country Canada, whose jingle "Why buy a mattress anywhere else" is likely familiar to most Canadians, was a public company once before, until private equity firms Birch Hill Equity Partners Management Inc. and Thomson family investment company Westerkirk Capital Inc. bought the company in 2008 for $356 million, according to CBC. The chain has 215 stores across the country under the names of Sleep Country Canada and Dormez-Vous in Quebec. The preliminary prospectus doesn't attach a dollar figure to the stock sale, but Bloomberg says the company is looking to raise as much as $250 million. The company estimates that almost one out of every four mattresses sold in Canada came from one of its stores. According to the document, the company plans to pay a dividend as a public company, but declined to specify how much. More to come According to the prospectus, the company took in $395 million in revenue in fiscal 2014, and had total sales of $406 million in the 12 months up until the end of March.
