His Facebook post. Howdy Parker County foodies! I am unfortunately posting here to put the news out that we will not be pursuing our restaurant project in Hudson Oaks. For 5+ years we have been actively looking to open a Heim Barbecue restaurant in Parker County but had very little luck finding the perfect fit. Things changed a while ago when we found a piece of land in Hudson Oaks, near HEB, and stared the process of building our “dream” restaurant. This would be a “ground up” build with over 5,000 sqft. interior space and outdoor patio, full bar, huge smokehouse, parking for over 150+ vehicles, everything we would want in a restaurant! We hoped that this would be our “flagship” store that would be the model for all future stores. However, since we began this process the world has changed…Our industry is still reeling from the havoc wreaked by the COVID virus, we’re still facing sky high expenses that make operating a profitable restaurant almost impossible. All of those factors plus inflated constructions costs caused our dream restaurant budget to almost triple in cost…So sadly, we’ve made the decision to move on and pursue other options in the Parker County area. We are incredibly thankful to the folks in Hudson Oaks who welcomed us with open arms and couldn’t be more disappointed that our original plan didn’t work out. Our plan right now is to take a step back and review our options, hopefully we can find a 2nd generation restaurant space in Parker County, preferably Hudson Oaks, that meets all our needs and renovate it into a great family friendly, fun Heim Barbecue restaurant. I know this is upsetting news to some, but we had to face the facts that our original plan wasn’t an option anymore in this economy. We are committed to opening a restaurant in Parker County and hope to find a location that allows us to truly be a part of the community, and provide our guests excellent food, served with gracious and passionate hospitality! Thanks for your understanding, we did not come to this decision lightly.
