Moonlite BBQ Inn INC operates in the Food and Beverage Services sector, tracing its origins to a small roadside restaurant opened in 1963 in Owensboro, Kentucky. It was founded by Catherine and Pappy Bosley after purchasing the Moonlite, transitioning from other lines of work, and growing from a 30-seat operation to a broader business. Today the company runs a 350-seat restaurant, a USDA-inspected processing plant, a substantial catering operation, a wholesale division serving four states, and a busy carryout service, supported by a sizeable workforce. These activities span dining, production, and distribution, positioning Moonlite as a multi-faceted player in the regional barbecue market. In March 2025, Southern Living named Moonlite the best barbecue joint in Kentucky, reflecting national recognition of its offerings.
