The former president and chief operating officer of the bankrupt Bernie’s TV and appliance chain has found a new job.
Mike Honeyman has been named to the same position at Trans World Entertainment Corp., a New York-based specialty retailer of entertainment software, including music, video and video games.
Prior to joining Trans World Honeyman spent nearly five years at Bernie’s TV and Appliances from 2006 to 2010.
“I am pleased to be joining Trans World as its President and Chief Operating Officer,” Honeyman said. “Trans World is an exciting place to work with many talented people, a history of success and has significant potential. I am confident in my ability to contribute greatly to the Company and look forward to the opportunity to improve the company’s results.”
Bernie’s filed for bankruptcy protection in January and immediately closed its 15 stores, including nine in Connecticut.
The company’s owner Milton Rosenberg, however, said he plans to revive the chain and open Bernie’s Home Central in a former Bernie’s location in Manchester on June 1.
