With the appointment of Lucia Penrod as CEO of Nikki Beach Worldwide, the shift in responsibilities gives Jack Penrod more time to further develop this new division of the company, according to the company. There are also plans to develop rooftop locations in major metropolitan areas, and there is an ongoing pipeline of properties to open in the next five years, with a goal of several openings by yearend. The Nikki Beach Hotels & Resorts division has plans to open over 20 properties in the next five years.
