Nothing Bundt Cakes Welcomes Charlie Morrison to Its Board of Directors
In a significant move to bolster its strategic growth,
Nothing Bundt Cakes, the leading specialty cake company in the United States, has announced the appointment of
Charlie Morrison to its board of directors. Morrison, who has previously served as the CEO of both Wingstop and Salad and Go, brings a wealth of experience to the table, having spent 35 years in the industry. His leadership at Salad and Go led to remarkable growth, expanding its store count from 20 to 150 within just a few years.
This appointment comes at a pivotal moment for Nothing Bundt Cakes as it continues on its remarkable growth trajectory. The company has doubled its size from 2019 to 2024 and is on track to open its 1,000th bakery by 2027 -- a testament to its robust business model and popularity. Dolf Berle, the CEO of Nothing Bundt Cakes, expressed confidence in Morrison's expertise, particularly in navigating franchise growth within the fast-paced restaurant sector. Berle noted, "With an impressive number of new bakeries set to launch in the coming year, Charlie's vast knowledge will be crucial as we continue to grow."
In 2024, the bakery chain celebrated a milestone by launching over 100 new bakeries, and expectations for 2025 indicate an even larger expansion. The company's rapid growth has not gone unnoticed in industry circles; it was recently recognized as America’s No. 1 Overall Restaurant Chain in Technomic's survey, which highlighted customer favorites among Generation Z and millennials in the limited-service category.
Commenting on his new role, Morrison stated, "It is a great honor to join Nothing Bundt Cakes as it not only grows in number but also in its standing as America's favorite restaurant chain. I am excited to be a part of a brand that spreads joy through its delicious offerings across the country, and I look forward to contributing to its ongoing success."
