Tim Sollars, Director of Operations
Tim likes to tell the story that he started with Dixon Foods 700 years ago, and he has had a cell phone attached to him 24-hours a day ever since. The truth is, he did start when he was only 16. He worked as a McDonald's cook until college, when he decided to pursue a management position.
At 21, Tim attended McDonald's Hamburger University and became a store manager at age 22. He managed stores throughout eastern North Carolina for 10 years and then was promoted to area supervisor. In 2004 Tim became Director of Operations, overseeing all Dixon Foods' restaurants. Tim resides in Goldsboro with his family and a wonderful Lab named Lucy. Tim's three children are ages 21 (already working for Dixon Foods), 17 and 7, and all of them still love Happy Meals. |
