Bubba's 33's menu focuses on hearty American favorites such as burgers, pizza, chicken wings, sandwiches, and a robust selection of appetizers. The chain's energetic sports-bar atmosphere, complete with loud music and multiple TVs showcasing various sports, sets it apart from its sister brand, Texas Roadhouse. This differentiation has contributed to Bubba's 33's strong performance, with sales increasing by 20.4% year-over-year in 2024 to $297.6 million, despite operating in a challenging casual dining segment [2].
The chain's success can be attributed to its founder's competitive nature and innovative approach. Kent Taylor created Bubba's 33 to compete directly with sports-bar franchises like Buffalo Wild Wings, incorporating elements from his flagship Texas Roadhouse while adding a unique twist. The chain's average unit volumes of $6.5 million further underscore its potential for growth, with plans to expand to around 500 locations in the future.
Investors should monitor Texas Roadhouse's earnings report, scheduled for the first week of August, to gauge the company's financial health and expansion plans. While shares of Texas Roadhouse have been down 5.6% over the last six weeks, the potential for Bubba's 33 to drive growth offers a promising outlook for the company's future.
