Best BBQ Franchises To Buy in 2021
Nothing beats slow-cooked, tender barbecue, and these franchises are doing more than just blowing smoke.
The coronavirus pandemic got a lot of Americans cooking at home again, but one thing the average home chef is unlikely to do is smoke a whole beef brisket for 20 hours. That’s why barbecue restaurants are here to stay. These smokehouses can lure in customers from blocks away just based on the smell of the wood smoke lapping up against big sides of pork and whole chickens.
With simple operations and a made-with-love product in an unpretentious atmosphere, owning a barbecue franchise appeals to carnivores of all stripes. 1851 Franchise rounded up the best such opportunities below.
