Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q® Announces 33rd Store with New Jacksonville Location

Friday, July 6th, 2012

4,900 square foot of fried chicken, bar-b-q, hushpuppies, and sweet tea set to fulfill hungry locals and travelers alike with opening of second Jacksonville, NC location

(Cary, NC) – Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q® (SCNB) is pleased to announce the opening of a 33 rd location of the NC-based restaurant brand. The new store officially opened Tuesday, June 19th, at 424 Yopp Road in Jacksonville.

The latest opening for the popular quick-serve restaurant concept boasts an impressive 4,900 square feet and can seat approximately 140 diners hungry for the brand’s famous fried chicken and Eastern North Carolina style bar-b-q.

The second of two Jacksonville locations for SCNB also helps to satisfy a very particular segment of the North Carolina population, which Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q is proud to serve: our state’s locally-stationed members of the military. Statements like those of Kelly J Shannon, Jr. are common on the SCNB Facebook page, Twitter, and email inboxes – “Hands down my favorite place to eat when I was stationed in NC.” Both the latest Yopp Road location and the other Jacksonville location on Gum Branch Road are less than a 15 minute drive from Camp Lejeune’s Main Gate and Visitor Center.

The new Jacksonville location, as well as all 32 other locations, is currently operating under “Summer Hours”: 10:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

“Onslow County is one of the state’s oldest counties, but it’s certainly not slowing down by any means,” says Richard Averitte, Marketing Director of Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q. “Onslow County continues to grow and offer new opportunities to its residents and visitors every year and we are very excited to have opened our 33rd location in this part of the state,” adds Averitte.

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

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

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.
