Statement From John Horne Regarding COVID-19

March 20, 2020

These are crazy times… unlike any I ever thought we’d ALL be facing. Social distancing… I don’t think I’ve ever heard that terminology before… can’t wait until I never hear it again. However, it is crucial in this time of COVID-19. But, so is family… and the AMOB Family is doing everything we can to continue to serve you, to keep our staff working as long as we can while adhering to ever-changing messages from Tallahassee and Washington. Including the message we just received a bit ago, that effective immediately, restaurant dining rooms are ordered closed. However, we can still

Meet Landside Manager, Kevin Thompson!

December 9, 2019

Why did you choose to work in this industry? Every day is different. You meet so many different people of different walks of life. I get to work with younger staff while installing values, teach responsibility, and hold them accountable for their actions. Seeing results when a “C” employee accepts responsibility and becomes a “B” or even an “A” is the best feeling. Teach us about your approach to customer service.

Unfortunately, we continue to hear how expensive and unaffordable college is. Let’s not even get into the topic of student debt.

On Sunday, November 3rd, the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee held their yearly “Brunch on the Bay.” This event helps sponsor USF students in achieving their goals, aspirations, and further their education. The support from local communities and businesses helps
