Bloomin' Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq:BLMN) today announced the appointment
of Gregg Scarlett as Executive Vice President of Bloomin' Brands,
and President of Bonefish Grill. In this role, Scarlett will be
responsible for leading the operations and development of Bonefish
Grill restaurants across the United States.
Scarlett most recently served as the Senior Vice President of
Casual Dining Restaurant (CDR) Operations for Bloomin' Brands and
was responsible for capturing and implementing operational best
practices across the three CDR brands.
"Bonefish Grill is our top domestic development priority.
Gregg's extensive operations experience, ability to effectively
develop and lead teams, and familiarity with the brand makes this a
natural fit," said Liz Smith, CEO of Bloomin' Brands. "As a member
of our team for more than 20 years, he brings a passion and respect
for the legacy of Bonefish Grill, coupled with proven leadership to
ensure we continue to deliver a superior brand experience and new
unit growth."
"I am excited and honored to rejoin this founder-inspired
brand," said Scarlett. "Bonefish Grill has a rich history and I
look forward to working with its team of talented leaders as we
grow the business."
Scarlett joined Bloomin' Brands in 1994 as a Managing Partner
for Outback Steakhouse in Wappingers Falls, NY. He was
promoted to Joint Venture Partner for Bonefish Grill shortly after
it was acquired by Bloomin' Brands, and later became Vice President
of Operations for the brand. Under his leadership, he led the rapid
expansion of new units across the U.S. and worked closely with
Bonefish Grill founders, Chris Parker and Tim Curci, to create the
polished, casual experience that Bonefish Grill is known for today.
During his tenure, Scarlett also has served as the Senior Vice
President of Operations for Outback Steakhouse and Carrabba's
Italian Grill.
Scarlett is replacing Stephen Judge who will be leaving Bonefish
Grill after a transition period to pursue other interests.
"We thank Stephen for his many contributions and leadership over
the past two years. During this time, Stephen oversaw the
development and implementation of our new menu that launched last
year, as well as the opening of more than 40 new restaurants," said
Smith.
