McNellie’s Restaurant Group. “Tony’s outstanding leader- ship and relationship-building skills were apparent from the very start,” said A&G co-pres- ident Emilio Amendola . “In addition to delivering results that consistently outpace our clients’ expectations, Tony has shown an impressive ability to garner the respect of both clients and landlords.” Grant’s key areas of exper- tise include negotiations for dispositions, restructurings and mitigations of leased and fee-owned real estate, both in and out of bankruptcy court. He has orchestrated numerous new store locations, lease ter- minations, relocations, excess land givebacks and space down- sizings or expansions. “Impor- tantly, Tony is well-versed in managing expansions on behalf of growth-minded retail and restaurant companies via ret- rofits, relocations and new-site development,” Graiser said. Prior to joining A&G, Grant’s projects involved a Who’s Who of operators in categories such as retail, restaurant/hospitality and fitness/entertainment. An example is his work on behalf of Borders Group, Inc., where he was responsible for the winddown of real estate and operations for both Borders and Waldenbooks, as well as the
sale of certain overseas assets. In addition, he has held several executive-level positions in re- tail and manufacturing, includ- ing serving as a member of the corporate development team at Owens Corning in Toledo, OH, where he focused on all aspects of global projects centering on acquisitions, divestitures and corporate strategy. The Michigan native is an entrepreneur who has owned breweries, restaurants, a bak- ery and various other busi- nesses and real estate. He holds an MBA in corporate finance and accounting from Michigan State University (MSU), as well as a BS in electrical engi- neering from MSU, where he was an offensive lineman and long snapper on the Spartans varsity football team. An avid outdoorsman, Grant enjoys spending time in the woods, on a lake or playing sports with his wife and two young daughters. “I’m incredibly excited to con- tinue my work with A&G in a more formal role that will allow me to branch into business-de- velopment and project-manage- ment while maintaining my role in the trenches in deal-making and negotiations,” Grant said. “A&G is the premier firm in strategic real estate consulting services, and I’m proud to be a part of the team.” MAREJ
