Co-Founder And Managing Member
Mclean Restaurant Partners
Mclean, Virginia, United States
McLean Restaurant Partners (MRP) was initially formed by Bryan Judd and two other local business leaders to develop, finance, and operate upscale casual dining establishments throughout Northern Virginia. While preferred stock commitments were oversubscribed, the Investment Committee was not able to secure term sheets with retail landlords that would satisfy ambitious financial targets.What was not in short supply were organizations that needed experienced business leaders to drive the financial system integration of recent acquisitions, implement approaches to reduce corporate overhead, the need to standardize and improve critical processes, and the mandate to increase EBITDA. Bryan spent much of the next four years delivering results to some of the largest business in the mid-Atlantic. By the end of 2020 and with the future of the hospitality industry so uncertain, the founders agreed to end their pursuit of a restaurant venture and to dissolve the company.
