Shane's Rib Shack, a Petrus Brands company, is expanding further into South Georgia with six new locations, including Savannah, Hinesville, Pooler and Valdosta, and into South Carolina with future store openings in Beaufort.

Area developers Patrick Hopkins, Bruce Watford and Russell Rosengart are bringing Shane's to South Georgia and South Carolina. Hopkins, Watford and Rosengart are multi-unit operators with more than 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry.

The first locations are expected to open by the end of 2009 in Savannah and Hinesville, Ga.

"We have received numerous requests from customers to open more locations in South Georgia," said Shane Thompson, president and founder of Shane's Rib Shack. "These operators represent the culture of Shane's Rib Shack and we are excited for them to expand the Shane's brand further into the Southeast."
