First Jeff Foxworthy Restaurant Opens for Business
ASHEVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 2, 1998--Redneck Foods, Inc. (OTC:RDNK - news) announced today
that the first Jeff Foxworthy's Backyard Bar-B-Q restaurant has opened for business in Kissimmee, Fla. to rave reviews by
patrons. Opened initially without any fanfare, business was good from customers who noticed the sign and stopped by.
Customer reaction to the restaurant was very favorable according to President David Womick. ''I love seeing the smiles on
the faces of our customers as they take in all of the visual treats which make up the ''Redneck'' theme. Our American Grass
Roots Foods(tm) and our dynamic flavor profiles are being very well received by our guests from throughout the country.
Kissimmee draws tourists from all over the world and we are receiving raves for our products from every geographic segment.
Our gift shop which features a wide variety of souvenirs as well as our private label foods is contributing approximately 25% of
the gross revenues. We have been open for less than a week and already we have families coming back three nights in a row
they like it so much.''
When asked about the methods which make Foxworthy's Backyard Bar-B-Q unique, Mr. Womick commented: ''We have
developed a new cooking and marinating process which assures the freshest high quality menu items and is at the same time
close to fool proof allowing a high level of consistency due to its employee friendly design. We are committed to being the
leader in the industry in terms of quality and, in time, in terms of size as well. The response from our customers clearly confirms
that we have achieved our first objective.''
According to Debbie and Steve Morehead, both certified Kansas City barbecue judges who visited Foxworthy's to deliver
another award for Foxworthy's Bar-B-Q Sauce, ''We travel the country judging contests and sampling barbecue.
Foxworthy's ribs come closer to competition quality in terms of flavor and texture than anything we have ever tasted in a
commercial setting. They are to be congratulated.''
