If the last nine years have been a dream, don’t wake Brian Gross and Jon Halpern.
The pair, along with partner Brian Shanahan, recently signed an agreement for Fiserv, Inc. to acquire their Pittsburgh-based payments technology company, Pineapple Payments.
The deal is the latest leg of a journey that started for the lifelong friends when they were detailing cars together while still in high school.
“The car wash and detail business was our first foray into entrepreneurship,” Halpern remembered. “We were able to convince certain locations to allow us to set up shop and, you know, pester people to get their car washed and detailed.”
