Mission BBQ to open new location
A national barbecue chain is set to open its second Sarasota-Manatee location in the bustling University Town Center shopping district. Coming soon signs for Mission BBQ are up at 5231 University Parkway #109, the former space of Half Shell Seafood House, located within The Market at University Town Center shopping plaza. Representatives for Benderson Development and Mission BBQ both confirmed the new location, with Mission BBQ Florida market partner Bill Leahy saying they anticipate a summer opening.
The Maryland-based Mission BBQ, known for paying tribute to the military and first responders, features a menu drawing from various barbecue styles around the U.S. The chain has locations in 16 states, according to its website, including a Bradenton restaurant at 4501 14th St. W. in Cortez Plaza that opened in 2017.
