HOA Brands Hires New Chief Development Officer

September 23, 2022 // Franchising.com // ATLANTA  - HOA Brands, the franchisor and operator of Hooters and Hoots Wings, has appointed Michael Arrowsmith as new Chief Development Officer. Arrowsmith will oversee the domestic and international growth of corporate and franchise locations of Hooters and Hoots Wings by Hooters.

Arrowsmith brings over 25 years of experience developing companies and creating strategies that foster growth. He has held executive positions with franchise concepts such as Captain D’s, Denny’s, Diedrich Coffee, and Checkers & Rally’s. Most recently he served as Chief Development Officer for Pinch A Penny Pool Patio Spa, and now returns to the restaurant business with big plans. In this role, Arrowsmith will recruit franchisees, identify new real estate sites and manage development services such as building design, construction and facilities, plus brand standardization before the operations phase of the restaurants.

“Returning to the restaurant industry and working for a global food service brand has been a goal of mine,” said Arrowsmith. “By joining the HOA Brands team, I’m able to flex my skills and ramp up unit growth for our concepts as well as work with our leadership team, motivate multi-unit operators, and others who are interested in expanding these concepts both domestically and internationally.”

Most recently, Arrowsmith has revamped and led Pinch A Penny Pool Patio Spa to grow outside of Florida into new markets in Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. The pool retail brand’s new locations over the past three years have had the highest opening average unit volumes since the inception of the brand.

Notably, Arrowsmith established a franchise program for Captain D’s and built the development organization from scratch. Arrowsmith brings a financial background to his new role on the HOA executive leadership team, which is helpful as he demonstrates why Hooters and Hoots Wings by Hooters are great investments for future franchisees.
