Shane's Rib Shack, new fast-casual BBQ concept, is smokin'

Raving Brands Sets Ambitions for Leadership Position in Latest Fast Casual Segment

November 18, 2005

Shane's Rib Shack, a three-year-old homegrown concept that got its start in rural McDonough GA, comes from humble beginnings...but the future of Shane's promises to be everything but. Raving Brands acquired this tin roof favorite with the cult-like following in 2005 and is growing it fast! The new fast casual Shane's has eleven franchised locations - all but one in Georgia and has 18 slated to open by the end of the year.

Even more aggressive, Shane's has some bone-breaking long-term growth plans to boast 1000 deals in development by 2010...just five years away. To date, this new-to-franchising concept has about 75 deals in development across nine states. Investors from Phoenix to Cincinnati to Tampa have put money on the national appeal and financial success of Shane's.
