As the classic Southern BBQ chain kicks off its 42nd year in Florida, Woody’s Bar-B-Q is recognizing three of its Sunshine State franchises as top performers during 2021. Woody’s Bar-B-Q of Powers Avenue in Jacksonville was honored for Highest Year Over Year Sales Increase, Woody’s Bar-B-Q of Macclenny was honored for Highest Sales in the Franchise System, and Woody’s Bar-B-Q of Flagler was named Franchise of the Year for increased sales, proactivity in marketing and customer experience, positive feedback from patrons and more.

There are 15 Woody’s Bar-B-Q locations in the U.S., from Ponte Vedra, Florida, to Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Three Florida locations — Ponte Vedra Beach, Green Cove Springs and the original Woody’s Bar-B-Q on University Boulevard in Jacksonville — are corporate owned. The rest are franchises.
