The Mission BBQ casual restaurant concept was launched on September 11th, 2011 in Glen Burnie, Maryland by Steve Newton and Bill Kraus featuring a traditional American-style barbeque menu of brisket, ribs, pulled pork, etc. Since then, the partners have added six more Mission BBQ restaurants including its first locations outside of Maryland, at the Maple Village Plaza on Loucks Rd. in York, Pennsylvania in November2013, a 4000 square foot location in an open center on Glenside Dr. at Broad St in the northwest quadrant of Richmond, Virginia in late March and earlier in April in a 3500 square foot end cap location at the University Commons Shopping Center in Wilmington, North Carolina. The chain is continuing its mid-Atlantic expansion having previously announced plan in The Washington Post for ten openings in 2014 and intentions of being at 40 locations by the end of 2018. In addition to its authentic barbecue menu with fresh and premium ingredients, the chain is motivated with a patriotic meaning and purpose with tributes and support to various national organizations such as the Wounded Warriors Project, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, the USO, etc.
