DALLAS Bennigan’s Grill & Tavern has parted ways with The Richards Group, the agency and client confirmed.

Robert Turtledove, senior vice president of marketing for Bennigan’s parent Metromedia Restaurant Group, said the company began “looking at our agency support situation” earlier this month. “We are mapping out new strategies and a new direction and what agency partners and resources we need,” he said, declining to elaborate on the new marketing plan.

The Dallas-based independent agency, which has worked with the client for four years, was invited to participate in the evaluation process but declined, Turtledove said.
