Keynote Speaker: ED Rensi, CEO of Tom & Eddie's Better Burgers
-
Topic: "Marketing a Profit Center"
For many kids, flipping burgers at McDonald's was their first job. It was Ed Rensi's first job, too. Only he hung onto it for 32 years! Ed started his McDonald's career in 1966 as a grill man earning 85 cents an hour in Columbus, Ohio, then moved from the grill through management up to President and CEO of McDonald's USA in the 1990's. Blessed with success, Ed has always made time to offer his help to others, including co-founding the world famous Ronald McDonald House. Presently Ed is a partner in America's Better Burger which has opened a fast casual dining concept called Tom & Eddie's Better Burgers. Tom & Eddie's had its Grand Opening at The Shops on Butterfield August 27th, 2010 followed with its Geneva, IL location opening in December 2010.
