Rib Crib Opens 32nd Restaurant in Yukon, Oklahoma

Rib Crib’s thirty-second restaurant, located in Yukon, Oklahoma, opened on January 5, 2004. Located adjacent to I-40, just west of Oklahoma City (and next door to Mustang, OK), this ‘Crib has traffic counts that are bound to create high visibility and awareness for local residents.

Despite frigid weather, opening day demonstrated that everyone’s dedication and long days were well worth every lost hour of sleep. Jubilant guests arrived en masse for the grand opening and “All-You-Can-Eat” Rib Night Tuesday, and continue to frequent the restaurant. The opening training team anticipated this response due to the overwhelming number of guests who arrived “early” during the training week, and were prepared accordingly with smiling and well-trained cooks, hosts, and servers. Yukon’s daily sales are a continuing testament to the approval “Yukonians” (and “Mustangites”) have of Rib Crib’s barbecue, service, and ambiance.

Leading Yukon’s management team is Al(vin) Lewis, General Manager, who has many years of people management and guest service experience, not to mention being on the opening training team for several recent Rib Cribs. Managing the restaurant with Al are Renee Benson, Curtis Price, Brian Holt, and Trent Jones. Together, this group of talented managers provides continued guidance to their crew, ensuring that Rib Crib’s high standards of service, quality, and cleanliness are provided to their guests.

The opening of our thirty-second restaurant at the beginning of a new year is a great way to start 2004. And we’re just getting started!
