(Tuesday, May 30, 2006) - Rob Lindeman has made the decision to remain at Max & Erma's as its company president, CEO and co-founder Todd Barnum announced today. Max & Erma's had announced May 10 that Lindeman was leaving the company to assume the post of senior vice president of operations for a local real estate company. "This was never about any dissatisfaction or lack of confidence in Max & Erma's," Lindeman said. I was flattered by the offer and opportunity. "However, sometimes you need to sit back and ask yourself, ‘What's really important?' My heart is at Max & Erma's. We have a clear vision for the direction of this company. Our future is bright and I need to follow that passion. The board asked me to reconsider. I'm grateful that I was given the opportunity to stay." Barnum said, "Rob is an important part of our team and our future, and I am thrilled that he is remaining at Max & Erma's. "We've been a strong player in this market for more than three decades and I have every confidence that we'll be an even stronger player in the next three. Rob will be instrumental in leading that effort." Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Max & Erma's entered its fourth decade in business in 2003. From a single, neighborhood restaurant that opened in 1972 in the German Village section of Columbus, Max & Erma's has grown to more than 100 company-owned and franchise casual dining restaurants. Max & Erma's grew up in the Heartland, but its footprint now extends from the East Coast to Nevada, and Green Bay to Atlanta.
