Las Vegas, Atlanta and Dallas/Ft. Worth on company’s radar screen Bar-B-Cutie® announces the opening of a new location in Memphis, Tennessee. “To go to the top in the barbecue business one must go thru Memphis, “says Brett McFarland, COO of the hot national and international Bar-B-Cutie®. The unit is the companie’s first ever out of the ground location. “My grandfather would have been proud to see where we have taken the concept, “says McFarland. Bar-B-Cutie® looking to be the largest fast casual barbecue chain is expanding rapidly with close to 100 new store commitments within the past 12 months.

Bar-B-Cutie®, a national and international barbecue franchise has been in business for 56 years and specializes in hickory pit barbecue and baby back ribs with delicious selections of Southern fare lunch and dinner meals. The company is in final talks about expansion in Las Vegas, Atlanta, Dallas/Ft.Worth and many other areas in the United States and abroad.

Bar-B-Cutie® is in a niche that had yet to be developed as pizza, burgers and chicken have been fully developed. The concept has four revenue streams with dine-in, take-out, drive-thru and catering. The company also has three models with counter service being the main focus but also offering food court/airport models along with full service. “It has taken us 56 plus years to get here but we feel our time is now, “says Ronnie McFarland, president and CEO. The company continues to expand thru franchising and is working on becoming the largest quick casual barbecue chain in the U.S. as well as internationally.
