Hickory River Smokehouse is a rarity among trendy fast-casual franchise concepts in that we offer a unique product: genuine Texas low-and-slow barbecue smoked over real hickory wood. We use only premium ingredients and don't cut corners on anything, but because we slow smoke our 'cue overnight, we're able to serve up fresh, hot, delicious barbecue minutes after opening every day. This suits our relaxed, fast-casual ideal perfectly: guests have the option of a leisurely dine-in experience, they can call ahead and carry out, or they can breeze through our drive-thru on a whim. Our flexibility and food also makes us perfectly suited to parties, catered events, online ordering, food trucks/trailers, concessions, fundraising events and more. Multiple revenue streams means more profit for our franchisees— it's an ideal situation! And if you think you can't afford to franchise, you might be surprised!
For under $300,000, you can be the successful owner of a Hickory River franchise with a 10-year agreement and your own protected territory, plus much more.
