BBQ Expands to 28 U.S. States... Opens 'Omaha Branch' in Nebraska

Location of Warren Buffett's 'Berkshire Hathaway' Headquarters
"Will Promote K-Chicken to Global Business Leaders"

BBQ has expanded to 28 out of the 50 states in the United States.

The chicken franchise Genesis BBQ Group recently announced on the 23rd that it opened 'BBQ Omaha' in eastern Omaha, Nebraska.

Omaha, where the store is located, is the largest city in Nebraska with the highest population. Omaha is known for being home to the headquarters of Berkshire Hathaway, led by the world-renowned investor Warren Buffett, attracting over 40,000 visitors annually during its shareholder meetings. BBQ Omaha is located just 10 minutes away from Berkshire Hathaway. A BBQ representative expressed expectations that "we will be able to introduce the taste of K-food to global economic figures visiting the company."

Additionally, Omaha is a city with lakes and rivers, attracting many residents and tourists who enjoy outdoor activities. Around the Missouri River, there are museums, art galleries, and theaters, resulting in a high volume of foot traffic.

BBQ Omaha is a chicken and beer type store with approximately 260㎡ (78 pyeong) and a total of 62 seats. It offers chicken menus such as Golden Olive Chicken, Seasoned Chicken, Honey Garlic Chicken, and Rose Tteokbokki. The most popular menu among locals is the half-and-half chicken, which consists of Golden Olive Chicken and Seasoned Chicken.

A BBQ representative stated, "We will continue to develop locally customized menus and analyze commercial districts until the day when BBQ Chicken can be enjoyed in all 50 states of the United States, the birthplace of major franchise companies."

BBQ operates over 700 stores in 57 countries worldwide, including the United States, Canada, Panama, Costa Rica, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam. In the U.S., it has expanded mainly in key areas such as New York, New Jersey, Texas, California, and Hawaii, and currently operates stores in a total of 28 states, including Nebraska, where the new store opened.

Meanwhile, in February, BBQ was selected as the 'Best Fried Chicken' by the U.S. food magazine Taste of Home, surpassing many global chicken franchises. Established in 1993, Taste of Home has 1.9 million subscribers and an average of 20 million monthly website visitors, making it one of the most popular cooking magazines in the United States.
