Alabama-based Full Moon Bar-B-Que on Tuesday announced the physical expansion of its brand outside of Alabama for the first ever time.
The chain’s 17th total location — and the first outside of the Yellowhammer State — will open in Madison, Mississippi, per a release. The 5,000 square foot location is set to open in summer 2021.
“Increasing the footprint of Full Moon BBQ outside of Alabama has always been a goal for our company and we have waited for the right timing and the perfect community to share our high-quality food and family recipes with,” stated David Maluff, co-owner of Full Moon BBQ.
“The city of Madison has been extremely welcoming, and we look forward to introducing our award-winning bar-b-que to their community and making Mississippi a new and forever home for our brand,” he added.
“The city of Madison wants to give Full Moon BBQ a warm Mississippi-welcome,” said Mayor Mary Butler. “We are honored and excited to have this successful and family-based bar-b-que business enter our community with quality ownership and homemade dishes developed from original recipes.”
This announcement comes after Full Moon’s first Huntsville location opened recently.
The restaurant’s first location opened in the Southside area of downtown Birmingham in 1986.
