🎉 Meet our General Manager, Edward! 🎉
We’re very excited to officially announce Edward’s promotion to General Manager!
Edward has truly become an important part of the Fireside family and culture. He cares deeply about creating a great experience for our guests, and he brings that same energy to supporting our staff.
Over the years, Edward has had a hand in just about every part of Fireside. He’s helped bring us Trivia Night and Music Bingo, loves working with our b**r partners to find the perfect Beers of the Month, and somehow manages to keep a dozen things moving at once.
When he’s not at Fireside, you’ll probably find him spending time with his dog, checking out a movie, tasting a new b**r, or heading to a music festival. And if you know Edward, you know the vest game is always strong.😎
You can find Edward here most days of the week, so next time you’re in, make sure to say hello and congratulate him—he’s always happy to see a familiar face or meet a new one!
Congratulations, Edward! Well deserved. 🍻👏
