Richard Blais is working with Concentrics Restaurants to open his new restaurant, The Spence, in Midtown this spring. Concentrics now has another Blais-affiliated venture: FLIP burger boutique.

Concentrics recently announced a partnership with FLIP’s owners Ron Stewart and Barry Mills to manage operations, marketing, public relations and expansion plans. Blais will continue in the role of Creative Director for this popular hamburger joint with locations in Midtown, Buckhead and Birmingham.

Bob Amick, Concentrics Restaurants’ owner says,

We are thrilled to be working with owners Ron Stewart and Barry Mills, restaurant veterans and visionaries. We are currently working to develop Chef Richard Blais’ newest concept, The Spence, so it was a natural progression that we partner.

In addition to these partnerships, Concentrics Restaurants owns and manages restaurants including Two Urban Licks, Parish, Murphy’s and spots in Orlando and Chicago.
