Nation’s Restaurant News:
Jack in the Box Inc. said Monday that Leonard Comma will be promoted to senior vice president and chief operating officer for the company’s namesake chain in February, after current president and chief operating officer Paul Schultz retires in January.
Linda Lang, Jack in the Box chair and chief executive, will take on the role of president once Schultz retires.
As COO, Comma will oversee operations for all 2,200 corporate or franchised Jack in the Box units. He joined the company in 2001 as director of Convenience-Store and Fuel Operations for what was then the company’s Quick Stuff convenience store chain, which was sold earlier this year.
