PR Newswire (US)
DALLAS, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brinker International,
Inc., (NYSE:EAT) today announced that it has named Wyman Roberts
president of its Maggiano's Little Italy concept. Roberts
previously served as executive vice president and chief marketing
officer for NBC's Universal Parks & Resorts. He is also a
16-year veteran of Darden Restaurants, Inc., where he held numerous
positions, including executive vice president of marketing for Red
Lobster. "Wyman's experience in establishing brand identities makes
him ideally suited to lead the Maggiano's team as it continues to
bring its distinct style of service and culinary offerings to new
markets," said Doug Brooks, chairman and chief executive officer of
Brinker. "His extensive knowledge of casual dining and hospitality
will be a tremendous asset to our company." Roberts replaces Mark
Tormey, who helped launch Maggiano's in 1991 and had served as the
concept's president since its inception. As announced in June,
Tormey made the decision to step down to spend more time with his
family in Chicago. He has remained with the company during the
search and will assist with the brand's leadership transition.
Maggiano's offers a full menu of Southern Italian recipes and
specializes in serving dining occasions of all sizes, from intimate
dinners and family gatherings to large banquet parties, in an
atmosphere reminiscent of a pre- World War II New York Italian
restaurant. The brand currently operates 33 locations in 18 states.
Dallas-based Brinker International is a recognized leader in the
casual dining industry. The company owns, franchises or is involved
in the ownership of 1,588 restaurants. In addition to Maggiano's,
Brinker's portfolio includes Chili's Grill & Bar, Romano's

Bakery Cafe and Rockfish Seafood Grill. DATASOURCE: Brinker
