Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurants is unlike any other hospitality concept. We are a modern casual full-service restaurant and bar with over twenty locations across the country and more to come. Here are some ways we set ourselves apart: 1. We are a winery located in Illinois! Our winery produces over fifty varieties of wine, which we serve and sell throughout our restaurants. We bring in grapes from vineyards in California, Oregon and Washington, as well as internationally, and produce an extensive selection of red, white, sparkling, dessert, and fruit wines. We also have one of the country’s largest Wine Clubs, which offers members exclusive blends, members-only classes, promotions, and events. 2. Our Napa-Style Tasting Room allows guests to try our wines with the help of our tasting room attendants. Our Tasting Rooms also feature a gift shop with Cooper’s Hawk gourmet foods and specialty wine-related products. 3. Our seasonally inspired menu features a large selection of dishes with bin numbers listed next to each offering to guide guests to the perfect pairing. We use only fresh, peak-of-season ingredients in our scratch kitchen and our team members focus on quality, consistency and flavor. 4. Since we opened our doors in Orland Park Illinois in 2005, Cooper’s Hawk has received over 250 wine awards and accolades. Over the past few years, Nation’s Restaurant News has deemed us ‘Breakout Brand 2013’ and ‘Hot Concept 2010’. Last year, our Asian Pork Belly Tostadas won the prestigious ‘Menu Trendsetter’ in Menu Masters Awards. Our founder, Tim McEnery has received nods from Crain’s Chicago Business’s ’40 Under 40’ and was named Ernst & Young’s ‘2014 Entrepreneur of the Year.’ 5. We are growing! During our decade long tenure, we’ve opened locations in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland and Wisconsin. We currently have over 3,000 employees and will only continue to grow our amazing team throughout the years.
Greg Flynn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, founded Flynn Restaurant Group (FRG) in 1998 as the owner and operator of eight Applebee`s in Washington State. Over the next 16 years, Greg strategically charted the course of the business to develop and acquire more than 750 restaurants that together represent $1.7 billion in sales. While the initial focus was on growing within the Applebee`s system, the company gradually branched out into other brands first adding Taco Bell in 2013 followed by Panera in 2015 where it was first new franchise admitted into the system in over 10 years. Today, through its three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Apple American Group, Bell American, and Pan American, the company owns and operates over 480 Applebee`s, 200 Taco Bells, and 50 Paneras directly employing 40,000 people in 28 states. Combined this makes FRG the largest restaurant franchise brand, and one of the 50 largest foodservice companies in the United States. The company proudly stands by Greg`s operating philosophy to provide friendly service, cultivate customer loyalty and make sure each guest has a quality experience. This mindset permeates all aspects of the business and has helped to establish a highly inclusive and collaborative culture – the team has a sense of pride and a deep connection with the company`s mission and success. Going forward the company plans to continue its aggressive growth by building and acquiring additional restaurants as well as opportunistically expanding into other brands and businesses. All three concepts are assisted by the Support Center, located in Independence, Ohio.
