The Parasole Story |
|
History
Parasole was founded in 1977 by
Phil Roberts and Peter Mihajlov.
Kevin Kuester
joined the company
as a
partner in 2003 after working
closely with Parasole for over two
decades. Together
they oversee
operation
of Parasole Restaurant
Holdings, the Parasole Bakery,
and Idein, LLC, a consulting
service for restaurant
and retail
clients nationwide.
Profile & Philosophy
Parasole is one of the industry’s
premier development and
management companies,
known
for creating
restaurants with wide
and enduring appeal. Unlike other
restaurant holding companies,
Parasole combines creative and
operational expertise with proven
rollout experience
to shepherd
concepts from inception through
execution and expansion. In
addition
to founding and spinning
off Buca di Beppo Italian
restaurant and the Oceanaire
Seafood Room, the company is
currently preparing to expand
Manny’s and
Chino Latino, while
developing additional concepts
for national rollout. |
