Stevi B's Makes Mom the Hero at Mealtimes in Bartlett with Grand Reopening of Memphis Area's First Location
Restaurant at 2990 Kirby Whitten Parkway Reopens with Huge Fanfare from Local Residents, Bartlett Families and the Business Lunch Crowd

BARTLETT, TN, February 21, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Stevi B's, America's leading value-oriented, family pizza buffet, is once again satisfying Bartlett residents' appetite for high quality food at a great price offered in an enjoyable environment with its grand re-opening of the restaurant situated at 2990 Kirby Whitten Parkway. The re-opening marks the beginning of operations under new ownership at the brand's first location in the Memphis area.

Ron and Michelle Rye, Bartlett residents and local entrepreneurs with four TCBY locations in Bartlett and East Memphis, are reopening the restaurant. The husband and wife team are excited to take on this new challenge together and have plans to bring an additional four Stevi B's locations to the region over the next several years.

"In and around the Bartlett area Stevi B's has built strong brand awareness and a loyal customer base," Ron said, co-owner of the restaurant with his wife Michelle, residents of Bartlett. "We are thrilled to be meeting the demand for food offered at a great value in a restaurant where every member of the family can let loose."

Bartlett's Stevi B's joins the brand's Cleveland, Tennessee restaurant as the first two locations in the state. The newly re-opened pizza buffet underwent several service and physical enhancements prior to reopening, including an upgraded salad bar, soft serve ice cream machine and installation of new flat screen televisions.

The location's store design reflects the chain's commitment to fast casual dining, blending quick service with a casual dining atmosphere. For adults, each Stevi B's offers a laid back environment ideal for lunch and dinnertime discussions, and for children, the experience includes a retreat from the norm with a fun game zone.

"Stevi B's lets mom be the mealtime hero. When the decision is made to go to Stevi B's, the whole family is high-fiving mom," Rye said. "Our value-driven offerings provided in a welcoming environment for adults and children keep customers coming back, often for multiple meals a week."

With original menu items such as Loaded Baked Potato pizza and a warm decor featuring stonework and granite countertops in an open kitchen environment, Stevi B's breaks through the blase of buffets with an exciting fast casual concept. Creative pizzas include the Cheeseburger Deluxe, Chicken Fajita, Macaroni and Cheese and more, and are complemented with a fresh and full salad bar and enticing dessert selections. The buffet is $5.79 for adults and $3.49 for children.
Bartlett's Stevi B's unwavering commitment to the community it serves further defines the Stevi B's brand. On a nightly basis, it offers to donate a percentage of sales to local school groups, community and religious organizations, local athletic teams and others.
