Tampa Restaurant Executive Mark Graff Joins Red Robin

The Red Robin CFO appointment has a clear Tampa Bay connection, as Mark Graff, a former Bloomin’ Brands executive, is stepping into one of the top finance roles at the national burger chain. Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc. announced that Graff will become Chief Financial Officer effective May 4, 2026.

Graff’s move matters locally because Bloomin’ Brands, Tampa, and restaurant leadership have long been tied together through one of the region’s most recognizable corporate food companies. Bloomin’ Brands lists its corporate office at 2202 N. West Shore Blvd. in Tampa, making this executive shift especially notable for readers following local business talent.
