Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar has appointed President and Chief Marketing Officer Adam Golomb to the role of Chief Executive Officer. Golomb, with extensive leadership experience in the restaurant and retail industries, was appointed to the new role at the beginning of 2023.
Golomb succeeds long-time CEO David Head – who has moved into a strategic consultancy role with Primanti Bros.’ lead investor, Garnett Station Partners.
“It’s an honor to have the opportunity to lead Primanti Brothers,” says Golomb. “My dad brought me to the original location as a kid – and now, to oversee our the organization and position it for success, I’m humbled.”
The change in leadership does not alter the restaurant’s plans for the future, though.
“We’re continuing to focus on expanding our footprint while also filling out into neighboring communities surrounding our current restaurants,” says Golomb. “We’ll always remain rooted in our history – but our job as we look forward is to bring the best value and the best experience to as many people as possible.”
That plan is already taking hold in Pittsbugh, where Primanti Bros. originated, and also across the state of Pennsylvania.
“We’ve recently opened a location in South Fayette, just south of the city of Pittsburgh, and also in Hanover – in central Pennsylvania,” says Golomb. “This year we’re opening in Chambersburg, PA, Ross Township in Pittsburgh and Weirton, West Virginia.”
Prior to time at Primanti Bros., Golomb spent time in leadership positions at Giant Eagle and Eat’n Park Hospitality. He is a graduate of Johnson and Wales University and holds a master’s degree from Penn State University.
