CO-PRESIDENT

Jim Plamondon is a second-generation owner of the Plamondon Companies, overseeing the Roy Rogers division of the business. Each day, Jim enjoys working alongside his brother, Peter, to grow the company that their father started.

After graduating with honors from George Washington University’s National Law Center, Jim began his career practicing law in Washington, D.C. He worked in private practice for a few years, before becoming an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Jim always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and knew his next step would either be to start his own law firm, or join his father and brother in business. He moved back to Frederick to join Plamondon Enterprises Inc. in 1995, assuming the role of General Counsel and Director of Administration, and hasn’t looked back since. In April 1998, Jim and Pete Plamondon, Jr., purchased the business from their father and became Co-Presidents for the Plamondon Companies. Today, there are 39 Roy Rogers Restaurants in five states and 16 hotels under the Marriott, Hilton, and IHG brands.

Continuing the family tradition of giving back, Jim has always been committed to serving his community. He has served as both a member and the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Restaurant Association of Maryland, as well as member and Chairman of the Board of St. John’s Catholic Prep High School, where his children attended. Training and education have always been a top priority for Jim; he served as an adjunct professor at Mount St. Mary’s University teaching in their MBA program, and is currently a member of the Board of Directors at Frederick Health, as well as Frederick Brick Works.

Jim finds it rewarding to see the company grow and to interact with people who love the brands they operate. He values the impact that the company has on its associates and guests and looks forward to serving more people within the community.
