Crave Hot Dogs and BBQ is coming to Fayetteville, NC after signing Eddie and Carol Womack into the Crave Family. After searching for a franchise opportunity they felt was right for them for quite some time, Eddie and Carol quickly added Crave to the top of their list among a few other options. Through careful research and thoughtful conversations with the executive team, Eddie and Carol decided that Crave was the right choice.
Eddie is a retired Military Veteran. Crave’s respect for vets helped solidify that it was the right choice for the couple. “At Crave, we are always honored to have our brave men and women who fought for our country as part of our Crave family,” said Crave CEO Samantha Rincione in a press release. Sal Rincione, co-founder, is a Veteran as well. In fact, about 90 percent of Crave's franchisees are active or retired Military, Army or Air Force.
Crave currently has multiple locations and food trucks throughout North and South Carolina. In addition to BBQ sandwiches and plates, the brand features a self-pour beer wall in all locations, holding anywhere from 24-48 taps. The beers are always local favorites from local breweries. Many locations feature wine and mixed drinks too.
Each store has an app where customers can order ahead, have curbside pickup, take out, receive loyalty points and rewards, as well as alerts and updates about the menu and events. Consumers can also take advantage of the option for delivery.
The Crave Hot Dog & BBQ Fayetteville location will be at 2725 Freedom Parkway Drive, Suite 2.
According to a spokesperson from the Crave corporation, the space is still in the early stages of construction, planning and development.
