About Us

Our Story

Piña Elite is led by Alex Piña, who has been a McDonald’s Owner-Operator since August 2018. Before joining operations, Alex served as a Regional Controller in the McDonald’s Greater Chicago region and has an extensive background in finance, accounting, operations, and management.

From humble beginnings, Alex and his team now operate eight McDonald’s restaurants across the Mid-South (five in Memphis, two in Cordova, and one in Collierville). He is the sole Hispanic McDonald’s owner-operator in Western Tennessee.
