Our Restaurant Open Over a Year

RubMeTender · 07-25-2011, 01:28 PM

I'm happy to say we've made it past the one year mark for our restaurant Poppa's BBQ. Another BBQ joint not far from us just closed their doors, yet we have been going stronger than ever. Just this last week we had a record breaking sales week and the biggest Friday sales ever.
Couldn't have done it without all of the Brethren support and ideas since we started doing competitions a few years back.

Great accomplishment.

Congratulations!

Big Ugly's BBQ · 07-25-2011, 02:15 PM

You are living my dream!

Awesome news! So nice to hear of a mom and pop making it in these troubled times.

May more blessings be showered upon you and your business!

Al Czervik · 07-25-2011, 02:26 PM

That's great news! It gives me pleasure to hear of good things happening to folks such as yourselves and keeps that light shining at the end of the tunnel for many of us.

From what I hear, they needed a decent dinner crowd to pay for everything and the dinner crowd pretty much disappeared. Also, having bbq as good as us within 100 miles probably doesnt help.
