Carisse Moody/Famous Toastery – Suwanee

Let’s just say, Famous Toastery saw this all-day breakfast thing years ago. They get that sometimes you want a burger or salad to start your day, an omelet for lunch, or brunch any day of the week. At Famous Toastery, you can have it all, whenever you want it. (Well, at least until they close.)

They also believe food should be both decadent and nutritious, uncompromisingly fresh, and served to order quickly with service that’s as satisfying as the menu. Sure, it’s a tall order, but it’s made them one of the fastest growing restaurants around.

Shannon Skains/Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is a true American success story. In 1941, Travis Dickey, a World War II veteran, opened the first Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Dallas, TX. Dickey was a true Texas character blessed with the gift of gab and the love of authentic, slow-smoked barbecue. In the beginning, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit was truly a family operation with Travis working the block and Miss Ollie Dickey serving sandwiches. Space on the restaurant sign was rented out to help pay the start-up costs for the restaurant and the menu was limited to beef brisket, pit hams, barbecue beans, potato chips, beer, bottled milk and sodas.

Brothers Roland and T.D. Dickey took over the business in 1967, continuing their father’s legacy of quality, hickory smoked signature meats. Under the direction of the Dickey brothers, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit expanded throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area and quickly became known throughout Texas for mouthwatering hickory-smoked barbecue, popular catered events and the iconic Big Yellow Cups. Franchising began in 1994 after loyal guests and barbecue fanatics demanded more locations. Today with nearly 600 locations in 43 states, loyal guests are what keep Dickey’s thriving in every community.

The brand has come a long way from Travis Dickey’s first location. But, some things never change. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit still slow smokes all meats on-site just the same way they did in 1941. The menu features beef brisket, pulled pork, St. Louis style ribs, polish sausage, spicy cheddar sausage, smoked turkey, and marinated chicken, with an extensive array of homestyle sides from jalapeño beans to macaroni and cheese. Buttery rolls are served with every meal along with complementary ice cream. And just like always, kids eat free on Sunday.

Vecus Miller & Theresa Hayes/Waffle House

Waffle House was founded in 1955 in Avondale Estates, GA. by neighbors Joe Rogers and Tom Forkner. They both passed away last year. While not being involved in the day-to-day operations, they both were still very present throughout their lives. Waffle House grew from that one restaurant to 1,900 in 25 states. Waffle House also has a very unique culture which they celebrate. From being open 24/7/365, to their unique “Call-in” system, to how they deliver a great experience, Waffle House feels their culture is what puts them above the competition.

Lowell Smoker/Dynamic Media Consultants

Dynamic Media Consultants is a group of marketing professionals with over 20 years of experience committed to helping local SMB’s understand how to navigate through and prosper in the ever-changing Internet marketing space. They combine analytics, expertise, and specialized knowledge to assist the business owner in analyzing their digital footprint, or what the search engines and others see. Using specialized tools, an assessment is given of what their competitive strengths and weaknesses are compared to others in their marketplace. Dynamic Media Consultants then help them put systems in place to either capitalize on their strengths or repair the weakness. Sometimes it is as simple as repairing their on-line reputation. DMC’s systems then monitor the various campaigns or actions. This allows them – along with the business owner – to measure the results and where to focus their efforts.

The end result? Their business will be found when others search for their service or product, their phones will ring regularly, and their business will grow again. If their offer or service is in demand, the growth can be explosive and quick.
