Nancy's Bar-B-Q

01/07/2024

Yesterday -- Sat, Jan 6, 2024 -- was our last day in business at 1525 4th St in the Rosemary District in Sarasota.

We've closed our doors just five months after moving from our successful location in Lakewood Ranch, where we could not renew our lease.

From opening day, this new Rosemary District venue did not draw enough dining in/take out traffic to be profitable.

Our three biggest days of business in this location were the final three days, when SO MANY of our loyal customers streamed in.
We are overtaken with gratitude for your patronage and your conveying your thanks and love for us.

Nancy is NOT retiring. She has not yet figured out how she'll move forward with her BBQ. The throngs who flocked in to show their support on Thursday, Friday and Saturday proved there is still demand in Sarasota for her menu; apparently just not in this location. Please keep watching this FB page for new information as her plans take shape.

A shout out to Ticket Sarasota editor Wade Tatangelo for his accurate reporting in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune:

"I confess that I thought reopening in downtown Sarasota would be a home run," owner says.
