August 02, 2023 // Franchising.com // DALLAS and MINNEAPOLIS - Dunn Brothers Coffee has named Scott Harvey President. The appointment comes with Harvey spearheading both franchising and consumer packaged goods (CPG) initiatives.

Tapping into his significant leadership experience and accomplished past in the coffee and restaurant categories, Harvey joins Dunn Brothers Coffee fresh off serving as President and CEO of Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery, a fast-casual concept serving Caribbean cuisine and baked goods. Harvey led the brand to its current standing of restaurants, both franchised and corporate owned, and oversaw CPG distribution to secure shelf space in grocery and retail stores.

Previously, he held the role of President and Chief Operating Officer of Black Rifle Coffee, which also specializes in small-batch roasting, where he guided the launch of the brand’s CPG program and designed a new store prototype. Harvey also fueled franchise development for Nathan’s Famous, where he executed strategic plans and spent two decades with Einstein Noah’s Restaurant Group, serving as Senior Vice President of Operations and overseeing locations across three different brands.

In his role as President for Dunn Brothers, Harvey will take the helm of the brand’s franchise development strategy. With a new lens on franchising under Harvey’s leadership, the brand will also implement its latest store prototype that includes a smaller footprint and a focus on drive-thru operations.

“The time is now for us to bring our vision for the brand to life and Scott is the right leader to do it,” said Anand Gala, Managing Partner of Gala Capital Partners, the privately-owned hospitality and foodservice investment company. “Scott’s industry knowledge and proven ability to successfully lead growth concepts is invaluable.”

Founded in the Twin Cities in 1987, Ed and Dan Dunn started the coffee concept and set the course for the company’s commitment to high-quality coffees.
