TL;DR
Famous Dave's has launched a dual-branded restaurant with Texas T-Bone Steakhouse in Colorado Springs, pairing barbecue with steakhouse offerings. The new restaurant is part of Famous Dave's initiatives to evolve its brand and deliver to customer suggestions.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (PRWEB) September 04, 2020 - Famous Dave's has announced its most recent initiative, after signing with a new franchisee, Dave Crimmins. Dave has combined Famous Dave’s with Texas T-Bone Steakhouse located at 5245 North Academy Colorado Springs.
“We’re thrilled to partner with a new franchise partner in order to pair these two legendary restaurants within one building as a dual-branded effort,” said Jeff Crivello, CEO of BBQ Holdings, Inc. “This new restaurant is among many of our initiatives that deliver to our customers’ suggestions to evolve our brand.”
The restaurant in Colorado Springs will pair Famous Dave’s award-winning barbeque with Texas T-Bone’s ‘best steak around town.’ The new franchise signing and restaurant opening marks an exciting time for Famous Dave’s parent company, BBQ Holdings, and an interesting time for the restaurant industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Throughout the pandemic, Famous Dave’s was quick to adapt its model in order to continue serving customers safely and efficiently, while opening several new restaurants and ghost kitchen locations throughout the U.S. with recent openings in Illinois, California, Washington, Kentucky, Missouri and Texas. The company has been working tirelessly to invest in technology and shift to a smaller footprint during this unprecedented time.
“It’s an exciting era for Famous Dave’s as we focus on growth and innovation of our brand, while continuing to implement the same core values that Famous Dave’s has held for 26 years,” said Crivello.
Famous Dave’s was founded by “Famous Dave” Anderson, whose passion for BBQ led him on a 25-year cross-country trek to find the best regional BBQ recipes in the country before opening the first Famous Dave's in Hayward, Wisconsin. As of August 12, 2019, Famous Dave’s has 125 locations in 31 states and three countries, including 31 company-owned and 101 franchise-operated restaurants. Famous Dave’s is known for its on-premise real pit smokers, scratch-recipe cooking, and 700 national and regional awards for everything from best ribs to best Bar-B-Que sauce to best cookbook.
Famous Dave’s offers a wide variety of BBQ favorites, including its signature award-winning St. Louis-Style Ribs, Texas Beef Brisket, Georgia Chopped Pork and Country-Roasted Chicken. Each seasoning blend was personally developed by Dave himself, after years of research and development, to bring flavorful and authentic BBQ to his Guests.
Scratch-recipes round out the menu with delicious items that include Famous Dave’s award-winning Corn Bread Muffins and Dave’s Famous Bread Pudding.
