March 19 2021 - 7:00AM
Texas Roadhouse, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: TXRH) Board of Directors announced
today that President Jerry Morgan will also assume the title of
Chief Executive Officer of the Louisville-based restaurant company.
The promotion is effective immediately.
Morgan’s appointment to CEO was part of the Company’s succession
plan, which was enacted following the passing of Kent Taylor, the
founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board on March 18, 2021.
“While you never expect the loss of such a visionary as Kent,
our succession plan, which Kent led, gives us great confidence.
Jerry’s operational background and 20-plus years of Texas Roadhouse
experience will be key in helping the Company and Roadies move
forward after such a tragic loss,” said Greg Moore, Lead Texas
Roadhouse Director.
A 23-year veteran of Texas Roadhouse, Morgan has more than 35
years of restaurant management experience with Texas Roadhouse,
Bennigan’s and Burger King. Morgan started his Texas Roadhouse
career in 1997 as Managing Partner of the Company’s first
restaurant in Texas. He earned the Company’s most prestigious
award, Managing Partner of the Year, in 2001 and was promoted to
Market Partner later that year. He was promoted to Regional Market
Partner in 2015 and was appointed President in 2020.
