Omaha, NE – This year’s Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Conference was a landmark event for Jensen Acquisitions LLC. As part of our ongoing mission to stay at the forefront of investment trends and industry insight, our team made the trip to Omaha to join thousands of investors, entrepreneurs, and executives at what is often dubbed the “Woodstock for Capitalists.”

But we didn’t just attend—we made the most of the opportunity by engaging directly with key figures across a range of industries. Most notably, we sat down for a one-on-one interview with Troy Bader, CEO of Dairy Queen, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway and a brand with a storied history in American franchising and innovation.

Highlights from Our Conversation with Troy Bader:

In our interview with Mr. Bader, we discussed:

• The evolution of the Dairy Queen brand and how it’s adapting to a rapidly changing consumer landscape.

• Operational strategy amid inflation and supply chain challenges.

• Franchise development trends in domestic and international markets.

• Insights into Berkshire Hathaway’s decentralized management philosophy and how it empowers subsidiaries like Dairy Queen to thrive.

Mr. Bader’s thoughtful perspectives on long-term brand building and operational discipline offered valuable takeaways for our own approach to business acquisition and portfolio management.

Other Key Conversations:

While in Omaha, we also engaged with leaders from other Berkshire-owned companies and fellow investment professionals. Topics ranged from succession planning and capital allocation to AI’s growing role in traditional industries. These candid conversations reflect the unique value of the Berkshire gathering: it’s not just about financial performance—it’s about stewardship, philosophy, and relationships.

Looking Ahead:

At Jensen Acquisitions, we believe deeply in relationship-driven investment. Attending the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Conference reinforces our commitment to learning from proven leaders and aligning our values with those who prioritize long-term thinking.

We look forward to sharing more insights from our trip in the coming weeks—including video excerpts from our interviews.

Stay tuned—and thank you to all who connected with us in Omaha!
