September 21, 2020 | Leave a Comment

Moe’s Original BBQ debuts a new brand tagline, “Tailgate Wherever You Are” for Fall during football season. As Moe’s food is synonymous with fall football tailgates, Moe’s plans to continue to reach sports fans with this integrated marketing, PR and social media campaign that allows its customers to enjoy its smoked meats and Southern sides anywhere from the park or lake to the backyard or river. To help fans further get into the gameday spirit, customers will see various Tailgate Wherever You Are food and drink specials across the country in Moe’s restaurants as well as a reusable stadium cup and t-shirts to support the campaign. Additionally, Moe’s Original BBQ will share some favorite tailgate recipes and award customers with giveaways and swag for the best Tailgate Wherever You Are posts on social networks using the hashtag #mobtailgate.

“Our company’s goal is to continue to align our brand with football season even though tailgates are banned at most schools this fall,” said Moe’s Original BBQ founding partner Jeff Kennedy. “As we have always been known for firing up our smokers to serve up mouthwatering tailgate meals, we felt this new brand tagline is a perfect solution for our customers to continue to enjoy the Moe’s tailgate experience anywhere.”

Serving Alabama-style BBQ since 1988, Moe’s Original BBQ has been named in the Top 10 BBQ Chains in America by USA Today and The Daily Meal, one of the fastest growing, emerging restaurant chains by Restaurant Business Magazine, and one of the Top 10 Rib Joints in the U.S. by Relish.

Moe’s Original Bar B Que Marks 15 Successful Years in Business

January 19, 2017 | Leave a Comment

Vail, Colorado, January, 19, 2017 – Moe’s Original Bar B Que’s prosperous model has proven itself over and over as it rolls into its 16^th year in business after recently opening its 50^th location in Jackson Hole. In the last few years in 15 states, the fast casual brand has consistently opened seven to nine restaurants annually. From a BBQ concession trailer on the side of the road to $50 million dollar enterprise, Moe’s Original Bar B Que has proven that mentoring and growing from inside of the company works well.

“Growing at an aggressive, yet manageable pace and offering a system that is easy to operate has been important to our ongoing development,” said founding partner Jeff Kennedy. “We are located in a world class ski town that attracts enthusiastic workers who fit with our laid back culture. We take pride in providing opportunities and training for our most hardworking employees to lead them to entrepreneurial success while expanding our family of restaurants.”

While all of Moe’s Original Bar B Que’s non-cookie cutter locations tie into the atmosphere of its surrounding communities, utilizing quality recipes and preparing consistent food at a reasonable price is its greatest attribute. Moe’s award-winning menu features pulled pork, ribs, wings, turkey and chicken smoked over hardwood served with two unique sauces as well as catfish, mahi mahi and a shrimp sandwich. Prepared fresh daily, a rotation of 60 traditional Southern sides and house made desserts have become just as popular as the smoked meats.

Moe’s Original Bar B Que was founded in 2001 by Ben Gilbert, Mike Fernandez and Jeff Kennedy. After meeting at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, they were lucky to learn how to fire roast meats from Tuscaloosa BBQ legend Moses Day. It is his distinct style that makes up Moe’s original flavor of BBQ. Recognized with many awards, Moe’s Original Bar B Que has been named one of the Top 10 Rib Joints in the U.S. by Relish and Top 10 BBQ Chains in America by USA Today and The Daily Meal.
