Biscuitville Fresh Southern is a family-owned regional fast-food restaurant chain. The restaurant specializes in the traditional southern breakfast made from scratch and with local ingredients.[1] As of February 2024, there were 82 locations in the U.S. states of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
History
The company, originally named Mountainbrook Fresh Bread & Milk (eventually known as Pizzaville), started as two bread stores in Burlington, North Carolina[2] The founder, Maurice Jennings, began making pizzas, and soon wanted a way to put the business to work in the morning. The company began making biscuits, from a recipe developed by the Jennings family, and eventually the company sold more biscuits than pizzas.[3] The company opened its first biscuit-only operation named "Biscuitville", located in Danville, Virginia.
Since 1982, company policy is for locations to close at 2pm.[4]
In 2007, the corporate headquarters was moved to Greensboro, North Carolina.[5]
As of April 2024, Biscuitville has 82+ locations.[6]
