Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q® Announces Return of Online Bar-B-Q Business, Delivered by FedEx

Eastern North Carolina bar-b-q available delivered to continental states with new efficiencies provided by FedEx shipping services

(Cary, NC) – Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q® (SCNB) announces the timely re-introduction of its online bar-b-q business with holiday entertaining, gifting, and football championships less than two months away. The North Carolina-based bar-b-q brand temporarily halted its online sales earlier this year to “take the time to ensure that our online component matches the level of service we are famous for and that you have come to expect from Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q®”, as detailed on the company’s blog.

During the brief break from online sales, Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q® selected FedEx as the exclusive delivery provider and streamlined the ordering and shipping process to best meet the important goal of delivering customers a fresh and delicious product as consistent as the bar-b-q experienced when stopping in at one of the 33 North Carolina SCNB locations.

The online product selection was also revamped to allow customers to order the online retailer’s most popular items and “sampler” combinations in a value-oriented format and price point. Realizing that no two taste buds are like, Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q® still allows customer to personalize the experience by offering the ability to customize the choice of sauces and mixes selected in the online menu options. Customers can test drive the new offerings online at https://scnbnc.com/store/index.php.

“We decided to partner with FedEx because of their commitment to quality in shipping,” says Richard Averitte, Marketing Director for Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q®. “Delivering a quality product is one of our top goals as a restaurant and it is equally as important, if not more, when shipping our product to hungry bar-b-q fans around the country. When our customers make the decision to send the gift of bar-b-q to loved ones or to order a ‘taste of home’ for their own tables, we want them to be confident that their order will arrive as expected,” adds Averitte. “We realize they have many choices when ordering specialty foods online and we are committed to making Smithfield’s Chicken ‘n Bar-B-Q® an easy choice for our loyal customers,” he notes.

we'll be back soon

Due to the tremendous popularity of our online bar-b-q shipments, we are currently re-organizing our online business to better serve you, our loyal customers.
