"We are excited to work with Sandeep and his team to further transform the retail experience and offer our guests a magical venue to connect with each other", stated Dale Schwartz, Founder/CEO of Pinstripes.

"Our unique combination of dining and entertainment is an ideal tenant for Brookfield Properties, and this partnership will further enable Pinstripes to accelerate its expansion plans of opening over 100 locations throughout the U.S. and overseas over the next several years.”

In anticipation of these expansion plans, Pinstripes recently hired Susan Walmesley, formerly Vice President of Marketing with Topgolf, as its Chief Marketing Officer, and prior to that Rob Hense, former head of real estate at both Apple and Crate & Barrel, as its Chief Development Officer.

These two seasoned hires have considerable expertise in scaling experiential brands and complement the balance of the Pinstripes executive team.

Her branding and operational expertise, in particular, will be of tremendous value to the Company, and she joins a Board that includes, among others, Jack Greenberg, former Chairman and CEO of McDonald’s Corporation, and Yorgo Koutsogiorgas, former SVP of Maggiano’s and the current CEO of Giordano’s.
