From Hollingsworth’s perspective, bringing in Fantastic Corporation to the fold was a best in shape.

He and Very good Firm founder Brett Sawyer “had been wanting for a way to work collectively for some time,” explained Hollingsworth, who mentioned they talked about a merger but wanted to get through the “fog of war” introduced on by the pandemic in summer season 2021.

What is needed, primarily coming out of Covid he mentioned, is to have a clear advertising eyesight and distinct voice. That means Fantastic Firm will carry on to provide tasty cheeseburgers and slide-of-the-bones rooster wings, but will have far more of a advertising push.

“I variety of search at the write-up-Covid earth like war-torn feudal Japan,” mentioned Hollingsworth, inclined to erudite analogies. “All these master-considerably less samurai out there. … wonderful products, fantastic staff, they truly know what they are accomplishing. But possession has experienced to change issues, it’s possible ownership didn’t survive Covid or wanted to do a little something distinct or received purchased out or still left.”

He hopes Structures & Food stuff will forge in advance as a new sort of hospitality enterprise in this market.

Sawyer will retain his staff, which consists of pastry / bakery chef Nolan Tidwell, supervisor Jalyssa Stringer, bar supervisor Zachary Watson and chef Michael Stevens.
