About the Owner

Originally from New York via Louisiana, Mr. Peter J. Nowak, CEO of Nowak Enterprises, Inc. (NEI) has lived in Pensacola, Florida since 1991. NEI began with two McDonald’s restaurants and has expanded to six, all in Pensacola.

As a business owner, Mr. Nowak combines hard work with opportunity. As an entrepreneur, he looks to find unique solutions to common problems.



Communication is a common problem for a business with over 300 employees in six locations. Needing a solution, Peter developed and implemented a web-based, info-on-demand communication tool: L3 (Look, Listen, & Learn). It allows NEI’s leadership team to effectively communicate with employees while they are complying with hand washing regulations. www.avisod.com

Peter Nowak, along with his wife and three children, shares his success with others, including NEI employees. “I’m very blessed and want our company’s success to help others. We’re proud of our affiliation with McDonald’s and of being able to provide a great product. However, our team is also why we’re successful. Their professionalism, and excellent customer service distinguishes us. It gives us the opportunity to share.”

For over 20 years, Peter has contributed his time and resources to helping the less fortunate. In addition to the list below, Peter works with several out-of-state non-profit organizations that are intent on improving childhood literacy and pre-school education.
