Home-State Advantage
BBQ franchise opportunities
in Florida.
Southern Luv BBQ was born in Tampa — and Florida is where we're awarding our first franchise territories. If you want to build in this state, you'll be building closest to the flagship, the training, and the team.
Why Florida works for BBQ
Florida eats outdoors twelve months a year. The population keeps growing, the tourism engine never stops, and the fast-casual format thrives in the state's retail centers, food halls, airports, and campuses — exactly the real estate a ventless, 600–1,000 sq ft concept was designed to occupy. And because our flagship operates in Tampa, Florida franchisees train, launch, and grow with the founding team within driving distance.
Markets now awarding
Orlando
Tourism volume year-round, plus one of the fastest-growing metros in the state.
