George Rumpza, Continuity Manager

George began working at his father's restaurant in the early years of his life to become manager in 1968. In 1973, he became manager at Star Lanes Restaurant. He was offered the position of manager for Frosty Management Corporation opening their first of 11 wendy's Restaurants in Lafayette, Indiana. As operating Supervisor in 1978 George oversaw the building and development of two more Wendy's. Upon being promoted to Vice President and Director of Operations, he managed the construction and development of eight additional restaurants in Central Indiana. He continued to operate the eleven restaurants receiving the Dave Thomas Award for the Most Outstanding Franchise and as President of the Indiana Advertising Co-op. In 1993, George bought his own franchise of two Wendy's Restaurants in Ohio which he owned and operated. He served as a member of the Chamber of Commerce Board for 8 years and received the Business of the Year Award. In late 2005, he sold his business to move to California to be closer to his family and explore new ventures in the food industry. He and his wife took a six month hiatus to enjoy the Central Coast when George met Ryan Comerford and Cody Van Dorn in May of 2006 and found the perfect opportunity to be involved in the restaurants and catering with Fairway Management and CateringUnlimited.Com.
