Tijuana Flats has hired Perry Jones to occupy the newly created position vice president of real estate. Jones will be in charge of executing the company’s strategic real estate plan for new store development and for Tijuana Flats’s entire real estate portfolio. Prior to joining Tijuana Flats Jones served as vice president of real estate and development at Rave Restaurant Group where he assisted in the development of Pie Five and Pizza Inn locations domestically and internationally.
