Deno, a seasoned exec with a track record at Bloomin’ Brands, brings a focus on customer and employee satisfaction, and will be supported by Masino in an advisory role for a few more months. This move follows other strategic pivots, including the sale of Maple Street Biscuit Co. and a $77M lease-back deal to reduce debt. Deno is energized by the brand’s iconic status and ready to unlock its full potential. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
