Franchisee, Srikanth Chi, Set To Open Second Venue In 12 Months
Lone Star Rib House and Brews has this week announced a new store location, with the opening of a new eatery in Hallett Cove, marking the fifth SA location for the restaurant chain.
The move comes as Lone Star experiences rapid growth and demand amongst SA markets, with Gilles Plains franchisee, Srikanth Chi, coming on board to mark his second operation in partnership with the brand.
Srikanth Chi, comments, “After opening Gilles Plains in December 2022, I first handedly witnessed SA locals’ love of juicy Texan flavours. The demand for Lone Star’s famous smokey ribs is undeniable and I am delighted to be a part of the journey to expand this unique offering into new parts of SA.”
With 12 month’s experience of working with the Lone Star Rib House and Brews franchise, Chi is passionately striving to assist in building the brand around Australia, adding “I see the joy which Lone Star offers customers and I believe this unique setting should be shared and this new Hallett Cove location will offer a new dining experience to the local community.”
Lone Star Rib House and Brews currently has 12 locations across NSW and SA, with one newly opened eatery in Geelong VIC and a further 4 stores across WA and QLD. Gary Blyton, General Manager at Lone Star Rib House & Brews NSW, VIC, SA, says, while the last 12 months have been challenging with cost of living circumstances, Lone Star Rib House and Brews has experienced sustained growth with the launch of two new venues in South Australia, namely Gilles Plains and Munno Parra, and our first location in Victoria with the opening of Geelong.
“Our mission to bring good old fashioned hospitality with exceptional Texas inspired flavours remains consistent across each of our franchises and it is these distinctive operations which have secured our very loyal customer base. “Over the past year, we have focused on offering consumers the ultimate accessible dining experience through expanding into Victoria and furthering our reach across SA with the opening of Hallett Cove and additional locations coming to South Australia in the next year.”
The brand prides itself on good ol’ fashioned hospitality accompanied by mouth watering food. Signature menu items include Lone Star’s 8-hour slow cooked ribs, Southern Style fried chicken burger, and their Golden Carolina spiced chicken wings. Lone Star also offers vegetarian options and trending salads, ensuring the menu is continually evolving and offers something for everyone to enjoy.
Franchise opportunities are currently available at multiple locations across NSW, SA, VIC & TAS. For further information or to receive a copy of Lone Star’s franchisee kit, please email gary@lonestarribhouse.com.au
