MANHATTAN BEACH, CALIF. -- Smoothie chain franchisor Robeks Corp. reportedly named John Sheppard interim president and chief executive to succeed Sheri Miksa, who resigned last month after less than two years with the company.

No reason was given for her departure.

Sheppard, described as a former president of Coca-Cola's European operations, is a member of Robeks' board of directors and an operating partner at Emigrant Capital, which holds a substantial equity stake in Robeks.

Miksa led the 138-unit chain after a stint as president and chief executive of Rubio's Restaurants Inc.
