“Charles and Omar bring extensive experience in successful restaurant operations to the Biscuitville family. They have professional work experiences that prove that they place a priority on making sure the people in their regions have the right tools to succeed,” Linville says. “As Biscuitville continues to open more locations in new markets, we know we need a strong leadership structure to support that growth. We are confident Omar and Charles have the passion to help the teams in their regions succeed in delivering Biscuitville’s legendary guest experience.”
