Great American Cookies, Marble Slab Creamery, and Pretzelmaker. Ms.
Lauenstein brings over a decade of experience working with the
respective brands, having previously served as Executive Vice
President of Brand Operations and Marketing at Global Franchise

during her tenure, including the unlimited mix-ins platform at
Marble Slab Creamery, the co-branded model of Great American
Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery, and the Fresh Twist menu concept
for Pretzelmaker. Prior to joining Global Franchise Group, Ms.
Lauenstein spent 13 years at Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins Brands in
various leadership positions.
With over 20 years of strategic and operational
restaurant leadership experience, Mr. Pear will assume the role of
Brand President at Round Table Pizza. Mr. Pear most recently served
as Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Desert De Oro Foods,
a multi-unit franchise organization with 360 restaurants, including
Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, Whataburger, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, and
Dave’s Hot Chicken. Prior to that, Mr. Pear served as Senior Vice
President of Operations at Del Taco, where he played a key role in
consistently increasing same-store sales and driving overall unit
growth. Mr. Pear also brings experience from his time at Yum!
Brands’ Taco Bell and Domino’s Pizza, where he led operational
transformation through a combination of key initiatives focused on
culture, continuous improvement of operational elements, and
elevation of the guest experience.
“As FAT Brands continues to evolve and grow, we
saw an opportunity to expand Jenn’s role to impact the larger
organization,” said Thayer Wiederhorn, Chief Operating Officer of
FAT Brands. “Her unique marketing and operations
background will enable us to develop impactful campaigns that
increase brand visibility and drive profitable sales across our 17
concepts. We are also pleased to welcome Allison and David to the
team. Allison has a great track record with Great American Cookies,
Marble Slab Creamery, and Pretzelmaker. We expect a seamless
integration into her new role and immediate value to the brands. On
the other hand, David brings exciting insights from his outside
experience, which we also expect will bring immediate results. We
