Romacorp Signs Development Agreement to Expand UK Presence
ORLANDO, Fla. (PRWEB) November 16, 2015 -- Romacorp, Inc., parent company of Tony Roma’s and TR Fire Grill, announces an agreement to build three new restaurants in the United Kingdom. Romacorp’s partner is Sir Francis Mackay, a leader in the hospitality industry in the United Kingdom.
“We’re thrilled to be able to work with someone as knowledgeable about the restaurant industry as Sir Francis Mackay and his team”, said Stephen Judge, President and Chief Executive Officer of Romacorp, Inc. “Sir Francis has been leading innovative food service companies for decades, and we’re confident his strong experience in the U.K. market will help strengthen our international presence and attract new fans to the Romacorp brands.”
Sir Francis Mackay’s Fulton’s Restaurant Division, a wholly owned subsidiary of Graysons Hospitality Limited, operates the existing Tony Roma’s in Glasgow, Scotland. Under this new agreement, the group will open new Tony Roma’s and TR Fire Grill restaurants as they expand their U.K. presence with the Romacorp brands.
