Big Whiskey's American Restaurant & Bar Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2025

Big Whiskey's is a restaurant that celebrates sports, not just a sports bar. We're a restaurant that celebrates our excellent bar products, not just a bar. We're many things to many people-maybe that's why we're one of the most popular hangouts in the area. Operating 5 locations in a market with just under 300,000 population our AUV is $2.18m with an EBITDAR of 20% so we believe a BW in larger markets will far exceed those numbers. Our first franchise will open early March in Bentonville, AR. Our Kansas City franchise will open in mid-May. We just purchased two shuttered Ruby Tuesday sites, one which will be completely retrofitted to our new design concept for our first free-standing store to open early summer. Our 4-Opportunities Method provides franchisees multiple times to build their bottom line-daypart mix is 28% lunch, 17.5% happy hour, 39% dinner and 15.5% late night.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
