#160 - Gilbert Harrison the "Deal Junkie" has worked at the top with clients such as Home Depot, Macy's, Sears, and more

For over fifty years, one merchandising giant after another—Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Home Depot, Nine West, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Sears, CVS, The Limited, Dollar Tree, Eddie Bauer, Interparfums, Jeffrey Stores, and Jos A. Bank, to name a few—have relied on Gilbert Harrison to help them forge just these kinds of deals. The deals haven’t always been smooth or wrapped up in a bow, but Gilbert knows how to play the game. Whether buying, selling or divesting, Gilbert has discovered the secret competing interests of companies and shares his stories on the ins and outs of deals.

Gilbert Harrison attended the Wharton School and then the School of Law at the University of Pennsylvania. In the ‘70s, he and a fellow lawyer created Financo, which eventually became one of the largest boutique investment firms in the country, marking it as one of the true leaders in retail and other merchandising acquisitions. In 2020, Gilbert sold his shares in Financo and started the Harrison Group to provide financial services and consulting to clients.
