MMI Dining Systems 2012

MMI Dining is one of two divisions of MMI (MMI Hotel, a lodging management unit, is the other), which started as a hotel management firm in Meridien, MS, in 1956 (the original name was Mississippi Management, Inc.). The dining division was launched in 1993 to provide F&B management services to the parent company’s properties. It has since branched into a variety of other segments, including colleges and K-12, both of which areas posted significant growth in the past year. On a sadder note, the company announced the passing of one of its founders, Mike Sturdivant, II, in May at age 84.
