The Love’s chain is comprised of 14 midscale BBQ restaurants located in Southern California. Of the 14 Love’s restaurants, one is a company-owned restaurant and the balance are franchised. Five new Love’s are expected to open during this calendar year. At least five new Love’s are planned for each year thereafter.

Commenting on the new agreement, William E. Eskew, President of Redneck Foods, Inc. stated: “We are very pleased and excited with this agreement and our association with Love’s BBQ. Love’s is a very respected brand that’s been operating in the important Southern California market since 1948. The management agreement offers the potential for significant income for Redneck with a minimum investment. Plus, we believe Love’s is a solid growth vehicle.

“This agreement should also help Redneck accelerate its growth of Jeff Foxworthy’s Bar-B-Q(TM) restaurants and Jeff Foxworthy’s Smokehouse Grill(TM) restaurants by bringing additional resources to our company, and by helping us realize some very important economies of scale. Redneck Foods, Inc. plans to initiate a major campaign to open new Jeff Foxworthy’s(TM) restaurants.”

Eskew further stated: “We plan to report Love’s results as those of an affiliated company of Redneck Foods, Inc.”
