Randy Dewitt anointed chairman as the group plans expansion of Whiskey Cake and Sixty Vines
Front Burner Restaurants LLC, the Dallas-based multi-concept operator, has rebranded itself as FB Society and has announced executive appointments that were made earlier this year.
Front Burner Founder and former CEO Randy DeWitt is chairman of the newly branded company, and Jack Gibbons, who was president of Front Burner, is now CEO of FB Society.
Additionally, the company has teamed up with marketing consulting firm R Circle and named its owner, Rae Phillips-Luther, chief brand officer.
Phillips-Luther is the former chief marketing officer of Jamba Juice and Zoe’s Kitchen, and she also owns a fast-casual breakfast and lunch restaurant in Frisco, Texas, called UP Inspired Kitchen.
Haywire used the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to analyze and double-down on key elements of its success. The result: a fully integrated collection of brands uniquely positioned for long-term growth and success, and a leadership team focused on WHY.
“While so many brands were forced to retract, or even shut down during the current crisis, we made a decision that Front Burner would not only survive, but emerge smarter, stronger and more cohesive,” said Randy DeWitt, who was named Chairman of FB Society. “I couldn’t be more excited about the future of our company, the brands we have created and those we’ve yet to dream of, especially knowing that my great friend and partner, Jack Gibbons, is at the helm as CEO. Jack has long been recognized for his unmatched creative energy and operational expertise that push culinary and hospitality boundaries. FB Society is in extraordinary hands.”
