Description

Alex Macedo, former president of Burger King and Tim Hortons, is now leading Authentic Restaurant Brands, a restaurant platform he co-founded that directs Primanti Bros, P.J. Whelihan’s, Mambo Seafood, Pollo Tropical, and most recently, Tavern in the Square. We’ll get into the M&A market, why the group is drawn to powerhouse regional concepts, and what it takes today to scale without losing a brand’s local spirit. That and much more as we explore industry trends and the rise of a billion-dollar growth engine with room to grow.
