4 Rivers brings great southern bbq to Lakeland
“Ever since opening the first 4 Rivers twelve years ago, we’ve heard a large outcry from Lakeland residents asking us to open a Smokehouse in their city and it’s always been a goal of ours to do so,” said John Rivers, 4R Restaurant Group Founder/CEO. “We’re honored that Publix has given us the opportunity to open a Smokehouse in its beautiful Publix GreenWise Market complex in Lakeland, which bridges the gap between our nearest locations in Kissimmee and Tampa. We look forward to bringing our barbecue ministry to Lakeland later this year where we’ll be neighbors with Publix, a company that shares our commitment to giving back to the community.”
We’re excited to welcome 4 Rivers to the area,” said Publix Director of Communications, Maria Brous. “Not only do we share similar values like serving our communities, but we also share the love of good food.”
