Former Captain D's exec joins Lennys Grill and Subs to oversee franchising

June 29, 2017

Lennys Grill and Subs has hired industry veteran Jennifer Benjamin as VP of Franchise and Market Development, according to a press release. She will oversee franchise recruitment and real estate selection, furthering the concept's goal of rapid expansion.

"After researching the hands-on leadership approach of the Lennys executive team, it was clear that they had strong goals and a vision in place to grow, which attracted me to the brand," Benjamin said. "My previous experience with growing re-branded restaurant concepts will allow me to help build momentum for the Lennys system."

Benjamin previously served at Captain D's and Huddle House, serving as both concepts' director of franchise development.

"As we continue to grow both within our existing footprint and in new markets, our ever-expanding customer base recognizes that we are more than just your average sub sandwich shop," said Benjamin. "Our brand has staked its claim by serving top-quality food, providing an unparalleled guest experience and driving strong value for franchisees. Our unit level economics are strong, and momentum behind our brand continues to grow. We remain focused on providing our franchisees with best-in-class support to help drive even more success as we enter the second half of the year."
