Willie Jewell's Old School Bar-B-Q

Coming Soon

Bono's Pit Bar-B-Q, headquartered out of Jacksonville, Florida, has been a casual dining Pit-based BBQ restaurant company since 1949. They own and or franchise 22 successful stores primarily in the Southeast but have a few outside the region. Owner, Joe Adeeb, and his Director of Operations, Josh Martino, decided to branch into the Fast Casual segment of BBQ with the creation of Willie Jewell's Old School Bar-B-Q.

The main reasons were an opportunity to offer Pit-based BBQ with the franchisee having less capital outlay, simpler operation by eliminating the hostesses, servers, and busboys while at the same time generating remarkably similar sales at a higher profit margin!!! We will be targeting a strong workforce population in diverse neighborhoods that have dense housing family population. These neighborhoods typically have commercial space available at lower rent per square foot. We have entered into an agreement with a site consultant with many years of experience and an established record of picking successful sites. We believe in giving our franchisees the best chance to succeed. Considering Bono's commitment to quality and excellence, national buying power, and dedication to its Franchisees, we believe the future for Willie Jewell's is destined to be successful.
