Shane and Stacey Thompson built one of the nation’s fastest growing franchise businesses. Shane’s Rib Shack was founded in 2002, in rural McDonough, Georgia. Shane left behind a comfortable corporate job and started the new restaurant with his grandfather’s secret BBQ sauce recipe and a desire to feed people the food he loved in a whole new way. Now he wants to share his dream with you.
 
 
 
Ed & Laura Patzsch • Shane’s Rib Shack • Woodstock, GA
“Ed and I joined the Shane’s Rib Shack team approximately five years ago. We worked and trained our way through four different grand openings in the Atlanta area before we had our own big day and it was extremely valuable to both of us.

Everything we learned made our opening run smoothly. I was able to concentrate on hiring and back-of-house operations, while Ed focused on construction, marketing and front-of-house operations. Our early partnership and continued support of various members of the team (franchisees, BCs and marketing) guided us through two successful Shane’s Rib Shack openings. As we approach the third anniversary of our first store, we’re excited about growing the brand and the support we continue to receive from the Shane’s team.

A special thanks to Charlie Feehan and Chris Morocco for helping train this Shaniac.”
