“For more than a decade, Kristie Mitchell has focused her talent and heart on making sure our guests experience the Biscuitville brand in a way that is true to our company’s core values,” said Kathie Niven, president and CEO of Biscuitville. “We are thrilled to celebrate this well-deserved national recognition of Kristie’s leadership, innovation, and stewardship of the Biscuitville brand.
