O’Charley’s Inc. said Monday the president of its namesake O’Charley’s casual-dining brand, Wilson L. Craft, has resigned from the Nashville, Tenn.-based company.
Craft resigned to pursue other opportunities, the company said. He will be replaced on an interim basis by O’Charley’s chief executive David W. Head, and the company will conduct a nationwide search to fill the position.
O’Charley’s Inc. operates or franchises 343 restaurants under its flagship brand, Ninety Nine Restaurant and Stoney River Legendary Steaks.
“For the past two years, Wilson Craft has led our O’Charley’s concept through an unusually challenging environment for the casual dining industry,” Head said. “His diligence and leadership have been an asset to our organization and have helped O’Charley's make tangible strides toward enhancing the guest experience. We appreciate his contributions to these improvements and wish him well in his future endeavors.”
