LIME Fresh Mexican Grill is rebuilding its operating model, guest offer, and growth path under CEO Patrick Fore
The fast casual segment calls on operators to balance speed, reliability, and guest experience simultaneously. LIME Fresh Mexican Grill( LIME) is working through that equation with a reset, focusing on strong operations and clear structure. The Miami-based concept, now more than two decades in the market, is reshaping its model while preparing for expansion. Patrick Fore, Chief Executive Officer, leads that work, with a mandate tied to systems, people, and unit economics.
“ LIME is a Miami-born fast casual concept built on fresh ingredients and a hospitality foundation,” Patrick shares. He joined the business four years ago following Ruby Tuesday’ s sale of the brand, with a mission to stabilize performance and set a clear direction.“ Since then, we’ ve focused on making the brand relevant again by improving operations, the guest experience, and menu.”
Patrick’ s role spans operations, marketing and growth. With around 500 employees across company and franchise locations, he oversees how the business performs and how it expands. That span shapes decisionmaking, with a focus on unit-level clarity before scale.
