212 S Hickory Street

Description

Established BBQ restaurant, a true local landmark and traveler favorite, now available for purchase. Positioned directly on I 35 with over 40 years of consistent operation, this property offers unmatched visibility with 860 feet of frontage and a daily traffic count exceeding 85,000. Situated on 6+ acres, the site is primed for future commercial development and is fully equipped with city sewer, city water, natural gas, a 2.5-inch water main, and three phase power. The 8,351 square foot building is built for volume and growth, featuring three smokers capable of producing up to 1,200 pounds of meat per shift, along with a spacious kitchen that supports additional catering capacity. The two-story layout includes room for expanded seating, including untapped upstairs potential. On site presence is strong, and the business continues to draw steady traffic with a 4.5-star Google rating and nearly 1,500 reviews. Still Smokin BBQ has built its reputation on quality, serving homemade meals with meats smoked fresh daily alongside made from scratch sides and desserts. Approximately 85 to 90 percent of customers are travelers, many coming from up to 80 miles away, making this a true destination stop. Revenue streams include dine in, carry out, and catering, with catering offering significant upside that is not currently being fully marketed. A new owner can immediately expand this segment by leveraging existing relationships with local funeral homes and businesses. Ownership is largely hands off, averaging about one hour per day, with an experienced manager already in place and ready to take on more responsibility. This creates a smooth transition for an entrepreneur looking to step into a profitable, well-established operation with strong systems and brand recognition. Located at 212 Hickory Street at I 35 and West Houston Street in Abbott, TX, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a proven business with built in traffic, scalable operations, and room to grow.
