Maryann Riley celebrated 40 Years in the Malnati Family on September 23. 

The outstanding team at River North, as well as some of Maryann’s former managers, got together to throw her a celebration in honor of 40 Years of service to Lou Malnati’s. It’s so great to see Maryann recognized for all she’s contributed to Lou Malnati’s dating back to 1983!

Here’s a quote her current General Manager, Eric Casady shared during his speech:

“To me, Mary Ann is the embodiment of everything that makes Lou Malnati’s so special. She is kind, fierce, loyal, and hard-working. She is adaptive in times of change, she speaks up and out in times of difficulty, and she laughs in times of joy. She means so much to Lou Malnati’s and to me.”

Colleen Feliciano, a former manager of Maryann and current General Manager at Oak Park had this to say about Maryann:

“Maryann has been an inspiration to all of us throughout her 40 years. She mentored all who started at River North and continues to develop managers and staff who come through the store. Her work ethic and perseverance through thick and thin has made her a role model not only in her own family, but our Lou’s family as well.”
