Scott Harris Hospitality has announced that it is officially rebranding Francesca’s Restaurant Group and infusing new energy into its more than 25 restaurants, bringing them under one umbrella that will have an emphasis on chef-driven food and beverage programs, while maintaining the rich tradition that put the group on the map three decades ago. The rebrand will bring the establishments -- from premium wine bars to festive Mexican taquerias to hearth-inspired Mediterranean eateries with a focus on a singular customer experience that guests will be able to recognize every time they set foot in one of the group's restaurants across all brands.

“From the start of my career, I’ve believed that good food and a standout customer experience are the most important things any restaurant can provide,” says Harris. “This rebrand has been a long time coming, and we are looking forward to being the go-to group of restaurants for customers who appreciate and share the passion that my team and I have – for life, for family, for food.”
Harris says these passions inspired the selection of the “rockstar roster of new chefs” who are joining Scott Harris Hospitality as part of the rebrand. Including Jonathan Beatty, Jaysen Euler, Dudley Nieto and Guillermo Tellez, to name a few, the culinary program will produce a more fresh and modern take on the offerings that customers have grown to love.
The Scott Harris Hospitality team is also embarking on a remodel rollout across all existing Francesca’s restaurants within the next three years, updating the brand with an interior and menu facelift. Utilizing the team of chefs, the Francesca’s culinary program will use farm-to-table aspects with more protein and veggie options, while still remaining true to the more traditional fare that fueled Francesca's originally.
Scott Harris Hospitality is starting with the opening of Zade’s Lounge, a gastropub and cocktail lounge in Naperville, and Fiore Pizzeria & Bakery featuring wood fired pizzas, fresh handmade pasta, and vegetable antipasti in Forest Park, IL, both opening before the end of the year.
