Bloomin' Brands picks new leader for Fleming's

Bloomin’ Brands, a Tampa-based restaurant giant and one of the largest casual dining restaurant companies in the world, has promoted longtime employee Sheilina Henry to president of Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.

Henry will be responsible for leading operations and development for the company's fine dining brand known for serving prime steak and uniquely curated wine dinners, say company officials in a Friday news release. Henry's promotion comes at a time when Bloomin' Brands seeks to open more of Fleming's steak restaurants.

Henry also comes to the role at a busy time for Fleming's: The chain is redesigning its look nationwide, including its flagship location in Tampa and a ground-up one in east Manatee County, in a former Ruby Tuesday's.
