September was another busy month in the restaurant industry’s C-suites. While there weren’t quite 8 new CEOs, there were five changes to that role, including a retirement at Whataburger and restructuring in Starbucks’ North America and China divisions.
There were a lot of new presidents last month, including at BJ’s Restaurants, Ford’s Garage, Via 313, 7 Brew, IHOP, and Arby’s. Wendy’s saw some shakeups, including a new chairman of its board, a new chief legal officer, and a new senior vice president of operations. And in addition to its new president, Arby’s also has a new chief marketing officer.
Other changes were made at First Watch, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Papa Johns, Noodles & Company, Smalls Sliders, Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux, Mo’Bettahs Hawaiian Style Food, Artistry Restaurants, and Bloomin’ Brands.
