Reid was most recently vice president of operations for the Tampa, Fla.-based craft-beer-tavern franchise.
“We are excited to see him in the new role of chief operating officer, as we believe it will bring great growth to our company and brand,” Paul Avery, president and CEO of World of Beer, said in a statement. “He has a proven track record of success that will assist us in our next stage of development here at World of Beer.”

World of Beer has 75 restaurants in 23 states, as well as China and South Korea. The company said it plans to open locations soon in Indiana and Oklahoma.
