Shane's Rib Shack is an American fast casual BBQ franchise, serving slow-cooked baby back ribs, hand-chopped chicken and pork, and Southern style side dishes.[1] They operate in eight states, with most of their restaurants in Georgia.
Founders
In 2002, Shane and Stacey Thompson opened the first location in an old roadside shack on Highway 155 in McDonough, Georgia. Shane's grandfather's BBQ sauce recipe was featured from the start.[2] Shane serves as President of the company.[3]
Shacks
The original shack was a tin roof building complete with an outhouse. The second location opened in 2004, in what used to be a small rural family restaurant.
