Mission BBQ History
In the wake of the devastating events of September 11, the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attack, Mission BBQ opened its doors in Maryland. Its mission is to bring back the nation to a pre-attack state and honor the sacrifices made by our first responders and military. As a result, the restaurant has become a Baltimore landmark.
The Mission BBQ chain started on September 11, 2011, and is now open in nine states. It aims to reach 200 locations by the year 2024. Each restaurant is company-owned and operated as an LLC. The restaurant founders are the president, chief executive officer, and CFO. Josh Mitchell and Paul Sattler are the Operations Executives. An award-winning graphic artist designed the company's logo, so the restaurant is easy to spot.
