Java Brands is the newly formed holding company for the development and management of well-known brands Ola Milky Lane, Juicy Lucy, Chicken King and the newly introduced Java Heights Specialty Coffee brand.
It has been formed through the restructuring of quick service restaurant group Retsol, from 1 February 2010, to split the management responsibilities between the Corner Bakery business and the franchise brands.
Craig MacKenzie who will head up Java Brands said that, with the growing diversity in the number of brands under the wider Retsol banner, it was imperative to revise the company’s structure and create a highly focused management team.
MacKenzie, a pioneer in the fast food sector and a franchising guru, co-founded pizza giant Debonairs Pizza in 1991. Full story.
