BASTROP — A fast-growing barbecue chain is bringing its slowsmoked meats to Bastrop, with a new restaurant set to open by November, company officials said.
Smokey Mo’s BBQ plans to start construction on its 22nd casual service location next week in the Burleson Crossing Shopping Center, west of the city. Chain President Craig Haley said the new site is a tactical decision in the company’s largest expansion push yet, looking to support the city’s all-encompassing growth.
“Bastrop is a great community. We really like the smaller towns because we feel like we can really tie into the high schools and local businesses,” Haley said. “This community is growing fast, especially with its emergence as a tech hub — and it aligns perfectly with our model.”
