The restaurant concepts and the retail brands already have earned a great regional following, and what makes this exciting is the national growth potential.” Mr. Hill continued, “For example, 1812 Amber Ale received rave reviews at the National Restaurant Association Trade show in Chicago this past May. The NRA show is the largest hospitality show in the nation, and for 1812 Amber Ale to earn a top spot in that show indicates its great promise.”
Mr. Hill has owned and operated both independent and franchised system restaurants for over 22 years, with experience across various concepts including fine dining, quick serve, and family eateries. Mr. Hill earned individual gold medals in culinary competitions and has served as president of multiple restaurant franchise systems.
