Former barbecue restaurant on Main Street in Huntington Beach will convert to a Beach Pit BBQ on July 20 as chain continues to expand.


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


July 13, 2010


COSTA MESA – Beach Pit BBQ has acquired Smokin’ Mo’s BBQ in Huntington Beach and is scheduled to convert the restaurant into a Beach Pit BBQ on July 20, according to Beach Pit BBQ Managing Member Tim DeCinces.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to acquire the Smokin’ Mo’s BBQ location on Main St. in Huntington Beach,” DeCinces said. “This obviously gives us a great location on one of Orange County’s most iconic promenades near the Huntington Beach Pier, and we believe our brand is a perfect match for Surf City USA.”
Beach Pit BBQ has restaurants in Costa Mesa, Tustin, Old Towne Orange and soon to be opened eateries in Laguna Niguel and Aliso Viejo, and the Huntington Beach location will offer similar specials as the others, such as All You Can Eat Ribs on Wednesday nights from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Tuesday Night Kids Eat Free, Thursday Wine Night and Philly Cheese Steak Fridays.
“In addition to adding a great location to our operations, we are excited to work with Mo’s owner and operator, Les Draper,” DeCinces said. “Les brings a career in sales and a great knowledge of barbecue. Before we opened our first Beach Pit BBQ in Costa Mesa, I was an admirer of Mo’s food and product as one of the few places in Southern California that did real Southern BBQ the right way. Bringing Les on board with the Beach Pit only strengthens our operations and barbecue know-how.”
Draper will provide Beach Pit BBQ with an experience in catering, sales and staff training.
“The merger is a perfect fit,” Draper said. “Beach Pit BBQ is great barbecue, and is positioned to become the premier barbecue restaurant in Orange County. I'm looking forward to help build the Beach Pit brand by focusing on catering, sales, and staff training.”
