Heisman Trophy legend and former Detroit Lion pro football star Billy Sims, founder of Billy Sims BBQ, celebrated the restaurant’s first year in Wisconsin. Sims operates a family casual style restaurant at 1442 W. Washington St., West Bend, Wisconsin.

Now in its 15th year, Billy Sims BBQ franchise chain ranks as the third largest black-owned barbecue chain in the U.S., operating in six states. Franchise opportunities continue for this Tulsa-based fast-casual concept eatery serving premium barbecue and traditional sides.
