Their community programs include sponsoring extracurricular activities for students, fundraisers to help local charities and the company founded the Hope Foundation – its own charitable venture that helps nonprofits in the communities SPB operates restaurants in. SPB wants to be involved in the community, Mazany said. “You get to eat at any one of our restaurants and it’s a really good corporate culture.” “We’re a really good employer with good benefits that we offer, and some exciting meal benefits as well,” Mazany said.
SPB HOSPITALITY FULL
The company offers a full benefits package that includes health insurance, paid time off and other perks. He added that the company has competitive benefits, even in an environment such as Greater Houston and he’s proud of the environment employees are given at SPB. With an increasing population, there are both more consumers and more possible employees with extensive experience in corporate environments, he said. Mazany said another draw for moving the corporate office to the Katy area is the growth in the area. In addition to Old Chicago, SPB Hospitality also owns Logan’s Roadhouse, Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery, Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant, ChopHouse & Brewery, A1A Ale Works Restaurant & Taproom, Twisted Tenders and Roadies Sliders, according to the SPB website. (see sidebar) While staffing up during recovery from the pandemic has been a challenge, Mazany said the company’s training programs and competitive pay have helped mitigate that problem. Mazany said anyone interested in applying for those jobs can search for them on Indeed or visit the SPB Hospitality website. “So, at this time, we’re adding a lot of jobs to the workforce.” “We’ve hired 125 people in the Old Chicago restaurant,” Mazany said. That’s in addition to the people hired to work at the new restaurant. Mazany said the environment in Greater Houston, especially in the Katy area, would help the company draw staff to its 175-employee corporate office which has opportunities for professionals in a variety of disciplines, including information technology, human resources and administration, among others. “It’s a great place – great schools obviously to start with – a really exciting, fun food scene and social scene.”


“We selected Katy and Houston for the reasons most companies would love to come to Texas,” said SPB President and CEO Jim Mazany. SPB has also moved its corporate office to 19219 I-10 near Greenhouse Road. 11 – but that isn’t the only big news for SPB Hospitality, the company that owns the pizza franchise. Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom held a ribbon cutting at their new location at 24515 Katy Freeway on Oct.
