Charlotte, North Carolina – The Little Dooey Barbeque & Blues™ is franchising and expanding into the national restaurant market.

LDQ, LLC, exclusive franchisor of The Little Dooey Barbeque & Blues™, has taken a proven concept to new levels of operational success with
award-winning recipes, state-of-the-art interior and exterior design, and a comprehensive franchise operating system. LDQ has transformed the Starkville, Mississippi-based restaurant into a high-quality restaurant serving award-winning barbecue recipes and sauces in a creative Blues-music themed venue. The key to our growth will be the unique cuisine offered, and our differentiation in the market from other barbecue restaurants. Since 1985, The Little Dooey™ has received numerous awards and accolades in national publications such as Southern Living Magazine and The Wall Street Journal. In addition, the restaurant has enjoyed media exposure with The Food Network and Turner South’s Annual Blue Ribbon Awards. LDQ will open its first franchise location in early 2006 in Concord, North Carolina, and is actively seeking qualified franchise owners and operators for this site and additional restaurants in key markets around the country. For all franchise inquiries, please contact LDQ at 888-895-2512 or email mreddington@thelittledooey.com.
