Rib City adds 29th location

FORT MYERS — Rib City, the Fort Myers-based barbecue restaurant chain, will open a new location in Estero this year, its first entry into that market.

The company has purchased a 4,285-square-foot building at 10431 Corkscrew Commons, formerly occupied by Arizona Pissa, according to Rib City president Craig Peden. The newly purchased property also features an outdoor patio area.

The newest addition will give Rib City 13 corporate owned locations in Florida, in addition to the 16 franchise restaurants it operates in other states across the country.
