Mark Cirillo, Joe Vaught and Eric Lingenfelder are the founders and principals of Verant Group. The company was created to develop a highly successful group of bars and restaurants and has spent the past 11 years building each entity on a strong foundation of knowledge, trust, communication and a solid sense of a team environment. They are now in the process of taking the company to the next level. Verant Group believes that with the continued addition of the current concepts along with future endeavors such as development/property management and an ultra sports lounge concept, the company will double in size in the next 3-5 years. Mark, Joe and Eric are each involved in the day-to-day operations in every location. They have input in all the company decisions from entertainment concepts to menus. The partners perform their due diligence and research to determine where the next location will be. Collectively, they possess many years of experience as they each started out in the industry as servers, door security or dishwashers and worked their way up throughout the years gaining a well-rounded understanding of the bar, restaurant and entertainment industry.
