ATLANTA, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlanta Bread Company announced today that Rick Arras has been appointed interim president. Arras has nearly 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, and most recently served as President and CEO of Shoney's Restaurants. Prior to that, he served as President and COO of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. Arras started his career with Perkins Family Restaurants in 1979 as a management trainee. After being promoted through the operations department, he became President and COO in 1988 and remained there until 1998. Arras has also worked with Atlanta Bread Company in the past in a consulting role and has a strong knowledge of the brand. "This is a terrific brand that has been well positioned," said Arras. "I am looking forward to working with the management team to continue Atlanta Bread Company's growth." Atlanta Bread Company ( http://www.AtlantaBread.com ) is one of the fastest growing, privately-held, quick-casual restaurant concepts. While the food is prepared quickly, a casual environment featuring classical music, seating in conversation clusters, hardwood floors and a brick fireplace accentuate the dining experience. The menu offers fresh made-to-order sandwiches, hot soups, tossed-to-order salads, gourmet coffees and bakery sweets served during breakfast, lunch and dinner. Atlanta Bread currently has more than 165 locations spanning 24 states.
