DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - March 02, 2015) - Eat at Joe's, Ltd. (JOES), a holding company with wholly-owned subsidiaries in the digital publishing and advertising industry and in the food service industry, today announced that the company has named Mark McGarrity as Chief information Officer (CIO).

Mr. McGarrity, CEO of Franklin Networks, Inc., which was recently acquired by the Company, has in excess of 13 years of internet marketing experience, will maintain and grow Eat at Joe's digital publishing and advertising operations.

As CIO, Mr. McGarrity's responsibilities will include continuing the growth of the Company's current digital media platforms and to establish a research and development department (R&D). The R&D department will allow the Company to conceive, create and develop the necessary applications with which to continue its expansion and the continued growth of the Company's new business model. Once established, the in-house capacity will allow the Company to achieve greater vertical integration and be less reliant upon outside contractors.

Mr. McGarrity has enjoyed repeated success as a driven business leader and as a successful entrepreneur. He has built several businesses that generate multi-million dollar revenue in the software development and Internet marketing arena.

Mr. McGarrity stated, "I assumed the position as CIO because I recognized an unprecedented opportunity to continue the work that I started at Franklin Networks at a higher level and at the same time, it's an opportunity to assist the Company in realizing its goals and objectives of moving Eat at Joe's in a new direction. I am a firm believer in the potential of the Franklin Networks marketing platform and that is why we agreed to the all restricted-stock purchase of Franklin Networks with stringent gating provisions."

"Mark understands and has the level of commitment necessary to grow a business. That understanding and mindset, coupled with his substantial experience will undoubtedly enable Mark to help us navigate our path to success," added James R. Thompson, Esq., President and CEO of Eat at Joe's.
