Damico is a veteran of the fast casual industry. Prior to Naf Naf Grill, Damico served as President of FOCUS Brands overseeing more than 5,000 restaurants. Damico says he is excited to take the lessons he learned leading companies like Auntie Anne's and Cinnabon. The company plans to start franchising by the second quarter.
