Twin Peaks Restaurants Hires Rick Akam As Chief Operating Officer

Twin Peaks Restaurants has hired Hooters veteran Rick Akam to serve as chief operating officer, the company said Wednesday. Akam, who most recently led a restaurant consulting company he founded, will join the 15-unit Twin Peaks in May, the Addison, Texas-based company said. He served as president and chief executive of Hooters of America Inc. from 1995 to 2003 and is a former chief operating officer for Raving Brands and First Watch restaurants. "To execute our growth plans, it's critical for us to attract the right people for the right positions, and Rick's experience and pedigree make his addition to the team a no-brainer," said Randy DeWitt, Twin Peaks' chief executive and co-founder of the concept with Scott Gordon, who is chief financial officer. "He knows what our target market expects better than just about anyone." Twin Peaks is noted for its "breastaurant" positioning, similar to Hooters but with a mountain-lodge theme.
