The future of barbecue shop Git-N-Messy was up in the air after the tragic, sudden death of original owner and pitmaster Chuck Cobb earlier this year. However, co-owner Chris Poulos has carried on the Sanford shop and plans to expand into a nearby food hall.
The owner of Red Eye Sports Tavern, the current home of Git-N-Messy's lone location, hopes to open a second shop inside Henry's Depot. Poulos said the spot will serve as a pilot program for eventual GNM franchises. He added that the idea for a franchise system was hatched before Cobb's passing.
The new spot is expected to open in mid-October.
