Scott Smith and Steve Abrams are adjusting to a new normal.
As the new CEO and chief operating officer, respectively, of Max Hospitality formerly Max Restaurant Group it’s not only about readjusting to pre-pandemic customer traffic, but also acclimating to a daily routine without their longtime business partner, Rich Rosenthal, who retired earlier this month after 36 years.
Both Smith and Abrams had worked with Rosenthal since 1991.
“It’s a little daunting,” said Smith. “But [Steve and I] work with a great group of partners and that energizes me.”
