Randy Hazelton Biography
Randy Hazelton is the CEO and co-founder of H&H Hospitality, a dynamic, ACDBE-certified company that operates over 20 airport restaurants across the U.S., including high-profile locations at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Under his leadership, H&H Hospitality has achieved impressive growth, with projected revenues reaching $50 million in 2023 and an anticipated $100 million by 2025.
Hazelton's entrepreneurial journey began with the launch of Café Circa in 2006, a venture that ultimately faced challenges due to a lack of industry experience. This setback led him to embrace a disciplined, research-driven approach to business, which he applied when founding H&H Hospitality in 2007. He attributes much of his success to the support of the Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) program, which has been instrumental in his company's expansion.
Beyond his entrepreneurial endeavors, Hazelton is an active civic leader, having served on the Board of Directors for Invest Atlanta and as an elected member of the Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC). His insights into entrepreneurship, resilience, and the strategic scaling of businesses make him a sought-after speaker for organizations and events focused on economic empowerment and business development.
