One of Wingstop’s top executives will become CEO of Jeni’s, the ice cream chain with a devoted following.
Stacy Peterson, who had been Wingstop’s chief revenue officer, will take over the top job with the Columbus, Ohio-based company in December.
Wingstop disclosed in a regulatory filing earlier this month that Peterson was leaving for what was described only as a CEO position at an unidentified company. During her nine years at Wingstop, she helped the company grow from 550 restaurants to 1,900 today and led its digital and marketing transformation. Wingstop’s revenue topped $282 million in 2021.
