You may not picture a titan of industry sitting down to unwind with a kids’ animated program. But when said titan has a young daughter, sometimes a cartoon is the perfect antidote to a hectic day.
“I watch ‘Bluey,’” said Warren Thompson. “I have a 5-year-old daughter and I love spending time with her.”
Thompson, his wife, Danielle, and his daughter, Skylar, live in Vienna, but when he’s not playing husband and father, Thompson leads a huge company that reaches into Ashburn as well as across the greater Washington area and far beyond. And it’s a company most of you probably know something about.
He’s the founder and president of Thompson Hospitality Corp., which owns and operates restaurant brands such as Matchbox, Makers Union, Big Buns, Milk & Honey, Social House, Velocity Wings and many more.
All told, Thompson oversees 15 brands across its portfolio. And that’s just the small side of the business.
