Old Carolina Barbecue Company is a Canton, Ohio-based restaurant operator that specializes in fast casual barbecue. It began as a competition barbecue team in 2003, built a regional fan base, and has earned more than 150 awards as it expanded into corporate locations in 2006 and franchising in 2012. The concept centers on slow-smoked, competition-quality barbecue cooked on-site with hickory wood, with meat prepared to order and served with a self-serve bar of five regional sauces. Positioned in the restaurants industry as a provider of Carolina-style barbecue in a quick-service format, it offers lunch and dinner seven days a week. Its customer base includes diners seeking a casual setting for barbecue, supported by a growth strategy that includes corporate locations and franchising as it scales beyond its Canton roots.
