Erbert & Gerbert's, a Midwest-based fast casual restaurant sandwich shop has promoted his VP of Brand Development and Strategy to COO.

Previous to his tenure at Erbert & Gerbert's, he was the Brand & Creative Lead with Buffalo Wild Wings, where he spent more than a decade building the brand as it grew from 300 locations to more than 1,000.

"Jeremy is a vet in the industry, and has been with our company in key roles for over four years," Eric Wolfe, president and CEO of Erbert & Gerbert's, said in the release. "He has been integral to Erbert & Gerbert's success, particularly through the challenges of the pandemic and thriving beyond. He will continue to oversee a cross-functional team that includes operations, marketing, technology, franchise development and supply as he manages the business overall. He'll also focus his energy on short and long-term strategic planning for the company and help further ignite brand growth. He is a valuable asset to our success and I look forward to working with him as COO."

From a sales perspective, the company's double-digit comp sales increase and historically high AUV of over $850,000 has positioned it for rapid expansion. Plans include expansion of corporate locations in Minneapolis, St Paul and surrounding areas. The brand also plans to open multiple traditional and small footprint franchise locations across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Illinois and Ohio showcasing a new store design and concept that exceeds customer expectations for quality and convenience.

Founded in 1988 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Erbert & Gerbert's has 100 locations in 12 states.
