Since its founding in 2011, Mighty Quinn&rsquo;s Barbeque has grown to 10 total locations across New York and New Jersey with five franchises operating internationally. And now, the brand has big plans to continue its growth in similar markets through franchising. To jump start that growth initiative, Mighty Quinn&rsquo;s is actively targeting nearby urban communities and their surrounding suburbs for expansion, including the greater Boston area.

Mighty Quinn&rsquo;s has become a clear a <a href="https://1851franchise.com/mightyquinnsbbq/how-mighty-quinn-s-is-taking-bbq-where-others-can-t-2707399" target="_blank">leader in the fast-casual BBQ category</a> by not sacrificing what makes it so mouthwatering delicious &mdash; authentic, wood-smoked meat. The brand has defined Urban BBQ as the merging of two great barbecue traditions: Texas and the Carolinas. It brings together the best of both flavors and creates something uniquely its own.

&ldquo;This is a concept that is appealing everywhere we go,&rdquo; said Mighty Quinn&#39;s co-founder Micha Magid. &ldquo;People love barbeque, but few have gotten a chance to try real, authentic, wood-smoked barbeque, and we&rsquo;re excited to give them the opportunity.&rdquo;

Mighty Quinn&rsquo;s desire to open in Boston and speak with aspiring franchisees is largely due to the fact that the brand wants local partners as part of its expansion. Strategically, the brand is targeting Boston because its similar to its home base in New York &mdash; both Boston and New York City are foodie cities with large populations of families and business people alike.

Magid notes that Boston offers exactly what the Mighty Quinn&rsquo;s brand is looking for, including its large metropolitan community, proximity to New York and <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/food-dining/2012/07/03/the-local-bbq-scene-heats/5RgPjmjGgAr889NZMPKQnN/story.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mighty-quinns-barbeque-sets-sight-on-boston-for-expansion-2707809" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">recent interest in BBQ</a> eateries. Additionally, according to Forbes, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/places/ma/boston/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mighty-quinns-barbeque-sets-sight-on-boston-for-expansion-2707809" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Boston is ranked as the number 30</a> best place for business and careers.

&ldquo;We&#39;ve developed a model that can succeed almost anywhere, yet we want to show our partners that we can provide the resources and support they need to open a new location,&rdquo;&nbsp; said Christos Gourmos, co-founder of Mighty Quinn&rsquo;s. &ldquo;Boston is a perfect place to allow us to work with new franchisees to succeed in a market so similar to the one we have been thriving in for years.&rdquo;

Gourmos is looking forward to finding the right people with a passion for the food and a business sensibility to help them to continue to lead the fast-casual barbeque industry.

&ldquo;Boston attracts a lot of the same people as New York. They are both huge cities full of hard-working professionals, and we have no doubt it is the right community to help Mighty Quinn&rsquo;s thrive,&rdquo; said Magid. &ldquo;We can only be as good as the people behind our operations and we strive to unite with each franchise partner to deliver a superior dining experience at each location.&rdquo;

The brand is ready to make these necessary steps to grow and has already proven its success with a franchise model, corporate locations and ability to thrive in communities across the globe. Mighty Quinn&rsquo;s 10 corporate locations in New York and New Jersey prove the brand&rsquo;s ability to&nbsp; succeed from both a consumer and operations standpoint. The brand has also already established five franchise locations in Taiwan, the Philippines and Dubai that are all currently thriving.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re very excited at the prospect of entering the Boston market and are currently in the process of looking for the right franchisee to establish the flagship Mighty Quinn&rsquo;s Barbeque in the area,&rdquo; said Hugh Mangum, Mighty Quinn&rsquo;s co-founder and Pitmaster. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re looking forward to starting conversations with all of the great operators who have been submitting inquiries. Our goal is to have a location open in Boston by next year.&rdquo;
