Lewisville-based Twin Hospitality Group (Nasdaq: TWNP), the parent company of Twin Peaks restaurants, announced the resignations of CEO Joe Hummel and Chief Legal Officer Clay Mingus, who are pursuing other opportunities, effective April 10.
Chief Financial Officer Ken Kuick has been appointed interim CEO and Allen Sussman, general counsel of FAT Brands Inc., has been appointed interim chief legal officer.
“We’d like to thank Joe and Clay for all that they have done for Twin Peaks over the last 14 years,” Kuick said in a statement. “Starting on the franchisee side of Twin Peaks together and then taking on leadership roles at Twin Peaks and now Twin Hospitality Group, they helped pave the way for the IPO.”
Founded in 2005 in Lewisville, Twin Peaks has 116 locations in the U.S. and Mexico.
“We will carry the torch forward, having already opened two new lodges in 2025 and targeting approximately seven to nine additional units this year,” Kuick added, “while building on our robust over 100-unit development pipeline.”
Hummel said the company is entering a new chapter.
“It’s been an incredible journey with Twin Peaks—one filled with growth milestones, an IPO and the most dedicated team out there,” Hummel said. “While the time has come to begin a new chapter in my career, I look forward to continuing to watch Twin Peaks stand in a category of its own, providing an unmatched sports lodge experience.”
