Diggers BBQ

Don’t forget to check out www.lokistakeoutandcatering.com for your Memorial Day weekend needs :)

I haven’t seen enough of my old Digger’s BBQ customers at my new spot in Greer at Loki’s takeout and catering???!!

Same great bbq, sides and sauces plus some new things like Sloppy joes, Chili Dawgs, and even salads!!

Great Daily special. BBQ sandwich plate with tea for just $8 Bucks! 11-2 every day except Taco 🌮 Tuesday.

Looking forward to seeing some of my old customers sooner than later 🙂

For those of you that miss our BBQ and lunch special I am bringing it back at my new restaurant “Loki’s takeout and catering” in Greer across from riverside high school in the lowes grocery store shopping center:)

$8 Tax included 11-2pm Wednesday through Saturday and All Day Mondays!!

So for those of you who have missed Diggers BBQ I’m partnering with a friend to open up Loki’s takeout and catering in Greer in the lowes grocery store shopping center across from riverside high school.

We are doing a soft opening this week and I figured I’d let my old customers know that Wednesday through Saturday you can get some of your favorite stuff from Diggers served at our new restaurant:)

The website is:
www.lokistakeoutandcatering.com for info, the menu and pricing.

Today we are open just until 5 or we sell out and we have Grilled marinated chicken and our famous hickory smoked 16 hour slow cooked bbq!! And we have All your favorite regional BBQ sauces so Get it while you can 🙂

And homemade banana pudding while it last!

Well it’s been a very long time since we got to chat and I miss each and every one of y’all!

This year was supposed to be a year that I opened up a new restaurant as well as a few other ventures but Covid knocked those plans out.

There’s not a day that goes by that someone doesn’t tell me how much they missed our food. But it was last week during Thanksgiving after I cooked that I realized really how much I missed making people happy with food.

Although I am not sure when I will get to reopen next year I do want to offer our amazing catering to hold you over through the Holidays for any office parties or personal events.

We will be doing 5lb trays of Hickory smoked BBQ or Grilled Marinated Chicken for $60 bucks!! Feeds 10-20 people

Banana pudding or homemade macaroni trays are also just $60 bucks! Feeds 15-25 people

Tax included and Delivery!! Buns and Sauce Free.

We also will be doing our standard catering that includes:

Pork or chicken, beans and slaw or potato salad, buns, sauces, tea or lemonade for just $10 a person Tax and Delivery included (minimum 15-20 person)

I know it’s not the same as having the restaurant open but it’s the next best thing.

Inbox me for any questions or to book!! It’s first come first serve so don’t miss out!!

Just a reminder that for 95% of us things have gotten real serious. I saw it coming and wanted to help out with my book a few weeks ago, but didn’t want to be pushy at all. Now the majority of the World is atleast another month in quarantine and I promise you just winging it won’t work. I will post my ad below and the link to my ebook and hope it helps as many people who need and want it as possible:)

Thanks!!

Small investment double the return. Serious people only!! DM me. I have another cool company I’m working on in addition to Diggers :)

I think I’m ready to put the chaos of last year behind me and the Chaos of the Mall behind me too lol

My goal is to open up a New Version of Diggers potentially with Burgers & chilli dawgs too 🙂 Called Diggers BBQ, Burgers & Dawgs 🙂 Something brand new and fresh with some of the same great items y’all love and a few new things 🙂

The goal would be mid to late Spring.

Looking for partners and investors to get it going and potentially someone who might want to invest and run a small location.

I’m also working on a restaurant delivery company that should eliminate all the headaches that these current companies are giving customers and restaurant owners.

Looking for partners and investors for that also. The link is below.

It’s time to come out of retirement and get this good food back out there 🙂 lol

When you’re super driven you can’t stay down long :)

2020 goals?? Seeking investors and partners 2020 is here!! Will you waste another year? Or another decade not going after your dreams and financial goals?? Awesome opportunity to be a part of the greatest disruption in the restaurant market in

Sorry this will be long....

Hey Guys! Long time No speak lol I know you’re wondering about what’s going on currently with Diggers your favorite BBQ restaurant ever and I wanted to give as much clarity as possible.

I took the summer off to figure out our next steps and what I wanted to do company wise moving forward after dealing with major headache after major headache especially with the mall. I am Mr. Positive but if I’m honest it took a lot out of me because I give my all to everything and the pst few years left me drained in every way possible as I continued to grow the brand and create a restaurant that you customers would love.

Some things I did right and some things I obviously did wrong. Some of the things were out of my control especially with the last store in the mall because they were almost 6 months behind schedule with getting it ready for me.

I tried to jump right into a Location here in Greenville but I could not find one affordable or in a good location to save my life.

I realized also how seasonal bbq is and the past few years we’ve renovated or opened new stores between fall and Winter and that led us right back into the dead part of the year which is January through March/April and at the mall it was twice as dead at that time.

I tell you all this because many of you have been on this journey with me and have been soo supportive.

Since it’s so seasonal though my goal was to find a place by this month the latest and that just not has happened and because of that it would not be smart business to open till Spring to have 8 straight months of solid business versus just 3 months of fall before it drops in the natural cycle of winter.

Love you guys and sorry we couldn’t open sooner but I want to be smarter this go-round and the market is the market and I have to make sure I use a well thought out strategy.

That being said enjoy all the subpar bbq out there until we are back so you can realize how awesome we really are lol 😜

Also....

I have been working on a passion project this summer that I would like to share below...

If you didn’t know, I am also a published author ( google me- money and the 9 steps you need to survive any financial crisis by Nick Ruiz) and I have a passion for helping people out. I have always wanted to start doing more public speaking, webinars, ecourses etc and that is part of what I have been doing this Summer. Good news coming...

So excited to announce that my Ecorse is finally up and running 🙂

This is something I always wanted to do in addition to restaurants and this summer I jumped right in.

Ofcourse some will think it’s stupid or I’m out of my mind or who am I to do this but all your answers are a click a way!! Lol

If you support me in any way please check it out and sign up for my free Ecourse and see what I have been up to this Summer 🙂

I know a lot of you have noticed that we are temporarily closed and a few hard days of dealing with things I wanted to let y’all know why.

So after getting screwed left and right with the Mall, specifically: (promised 3 months free rent didn’t get it, promised a flat rent that’s affordable didn’t get it, real estate tax charged monthly and never had that happen in the 15 years I’ve been doing business, phantom utility bills of almost $2500 extra a month and yet have never received a usage bill, and finding out my rent is almost as much as Chick fil a at almost $10k a month!)

I’ve decided we are going to have to move the store bc this some for real ish and no location is worth it.

Yes they were awesome on weekends and Holidays but to be honest during the week was not much better than any of my previous locations and that was also a lie told to me by corporate at Simon headquarters. They told this is the busiest food court in their portfolio of Malls and in my “Maury” Voice that was also a lie!! I’m not the only one with these same issues either at the mall.

I’ve heard horror stories but this takes the cake especially after they recruited me to be the First ever BBQ restaurant in the mall.

All that being said I’m retiring for the summer. Gonna recuperate after the years and years of 150% effort that I put into this business.

I’m looking at two locations for the near future on Haywood and Pelham but definitely going to take about 2 to 3 months to get back going.

I will still be Catering also so still hit us up on the website!

Just wanted to give the FYI because this was definitely a pull the trigger kind of thing.

Thanks for all my real Supporters and for my haters y’all know what to do lol 😂

As I continue to expand the plan to grow the business I have realized a few things...

number 1 is I’ve been doing this a very long time and I’m not as young as I used to be lol

Number 2 is if I’m truly going to grow here in the upstate I’m going to need lots of help!

Number 3 is my customers really like a sit down restaurant with the service and atmosphere that they’re used to from Diggers BBQ.

As good as the Mall location has been I can tell that it needs to be part of my strategy but not my whole strategy.

We need to start working on a dine in restaurant so that some of my favorite customers who won’t set foot in a mall can come back and enjoy us again. 🙂 lol

In order to do that I’ve decided to add another growth strategy and that is instead of just trying to franchise I need to start offering operational partnerships like Chick fil a.

Where you can come in get a salary but with a stronger profit margin of the business. I simply can’t grow without more qualified people. So if you have ever thought about running a business then the following opportunities are now available.

Operational partnership at The Haywood mall location. Investment $50k-$100k for 20%-45% profit share and base salary 40-45 hour work week average!

Operational partnership at The Following future locations-(Taylors/Greer, Travelers Rest, Simpsonville/five forks, or Pelham road) Investment $50k-$75k for 20%-45% profit share and base salary 40-45 hour work week average!

Franchise any location $125k-$150k
All equipment included and No royalties for 12 months!!

If any of these interest you then let me know right away. BBQ season starts soon on Memorial Day and we need to solidify our plan for the rest of the year soon.

Thanks!!
