Rib Crib Is Ten Years Bolder.

Rib Crib, a Tulsa-based casual dining barbecue chain, recently recently announced it is celebrating its Tenth Anniversary. Rib Crib's menu includes a wide variety of hickory-smoked meats served in sandwiches, dinners, and combination platters, as well as a varied selection of side items, delicious appetizers, homemade desserts, and budget-conscious kid's meals. Rib Crib opened its first restaurant in Tulsa, OK, at 16th & Harvard in May of 1992. That location is still a top-producing restaurant in the now 21-restaurant chain.

The success experienced by the first Rib Crib led to the opening of a second restaurant. Two to three Rib Cribs opened each year for the next ten years to bring the current total to 21 restaurants. With franchising efforts in full force, the company has set its goal at 100 units in three to five years. Currently Rib Crib operates in three states: Oklahoma, Missouri and Florida. New locations are slated for Kansas, Ohio and Florida.

Rib Crib's Tenth Anniversary will be celebrated through the entire year with marketing promotions targeted at both guests and employees. New television and radio commercials will hit the airwaves and new print advertising has been developed to communicate the message of Rib Crib's quality products and service.

Rib Crib is the brainchild of Bret Chandler who keeps an eye on operations on a daily basis. As president and CEO, Chandler also oversees the expansion plans of his barbecue empire. A firm believer in giving back to the communities that support his restaurants, Chandler has ensured Rib Crib plays a major role in community organizations such as the March of Dimes, Cystic Fibrosis, local high schools, and universities.
