eatZi's Market and Bakery Names Adam E. Romo, Jr. CEO

eatZi’s Market & Bakery is proud to announce that Adam E. Romo, Jr. has been selected as Chief Executive Officer to lead the company’s strategic expansion efforts. Romo is a seasoned senior financial executive bringing more than 25 years of experience with mature and emerging growth companies. He comes to eatZi's from an industry leading energy construction service company with operations spread across five states. As Chief Financial Officer for this private equity owned business, Romo was responsible for fortifying its financial, technological and corporate infrastructures.

While his career began with a seven-year stint with KPMG’s Retail Practice Group in Dallas and New York in the mid-eighties, Romo is no stranger to the restaurant industry. In fact, he spent eight years in positions of increasing responsibility with Brinker International, Inc., including three years of service as Chief Financial Officer for eatZi’s Market & Bakery under Philip J. Romano’s leadership from 1996 to 1999.

“We are very fortunate to have someone with Adam’s background and experience to lead our company,” said Mr. Romano. “His familiarity with the management team and the complex business model of this European-style eatery concept will facilitate a seamless transition into his new role.”

Romo has already begun searching for potential sites to open new locations in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metropolitan area.

eatZi's Market and Bakery supports Hunger Busters

It's time for the 9th Annual Hunger Busters Golf Classic & Raffle.

The Golf Classic and Raffle raises money and awareness for the charity’s “Feed the Need - After School Program,” which provides a much deserved and nutritious third meal of the day for Dallas school children who participate in subsidized meal plans during breakfast and lunch. Hunger Busters gives out more than 130,000 meals a year to hungry children in the Dallas area.

This is Hunger Busters biggest fundraiser of the year and it provides for HALF of the annual budget. Over 87% of the children attending Dallas public schools rely on school-subsidized breakfast and/or lunch as their only resource for food. All too often, these children go without dinner, many of them having nothing to eat in 18 hours between school lunch one day until school breakfast the next. Hunger Busters "Feed the Need" after school program delivers thousands of evening meals each week to food-insecure children at 11 DISD schools. Thanks to the generosity of donors, they will serve over 160,000 healthy meals to hungry kids in Dallas this year.

eatZi’s Market and Bakery is proud to be a part of this wonderful event as Title Sponsor. Please help take a bite out of Dallas' childhood hunger epidemic and purchase raffle tickets.

Raffle tickets are for sale at both of our locations and are 1 for $25 or 5 for $100. Here are a few of the great prizes:

• $500 to Neiman Marcus Downtown
• Private dining with wine for 10 by eatZi's Market & Bakery
• Dinner for 10 at Nick & Sam's
• One dozen cupcakes each month for a year from Sprinkles Cupcakes
• One spot for a Camp Cowboys youth football camp and one spot for a Camp DCC youth cheer camp
