Dick’s Wings and Grill, the award winning casual dining restaurant chain located in Jacksonville, FL, announced this week that Dave Eberle has been hired as its first CEO. In his role, Dave will be responsible for the day-to-day operations and support as well as growing the current franchise system, revenue and profitability.
Dave joins Dick’s Wings and Grill directly from Johnny Rockets Inc., where he held the position of Senior Vice President of Franchise Sales and Development, responsible for the growth of both traditional and non-traditional locations. As well, Dave created a disposition team to sell company units to potential franchisees.
“With its great menu and family friendly atmosphere, Dick’s has the potential to grow from a local Jacksonville chain to a national one, much like our competitors have done in their early years,” says Dave. “We are in a growth mode and I look forward to taking this emerging chain to new heights.”
