WHO COULD MISS THAT 12 FOOT LUMBERJACK STANDING IN FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT?

This statue represents the hard work and enormous plates of food that each and every Lumberjacks Restaurant prides itself on! The culture of Lumberjacks is one that reflects hard work, exceptional service, and respect for every crew member AND customer. Sure, it's a lot of work, but the success of Lumberjacks has been achieved and recognized time and time again; and with the Lumberjacks team at their side, franchisees are given the necessary tools and support needed to keep them going year after year.

When walking up to a Lumberjacks Restaurant one of the first notable things seen is an ax handle. Yes, it's the door handle to the entrance of the restaurant. Then, beyond the door is an inviting log cabin style themed atmosphere -- from old saw artifacts on the walls to the juniper tree behind the counter. The Lumberjack theme flows throughout the building. The Lumberjack experience reminds patrons of an old-fashioned family-style dining experience that screams home-cooked meals...in both flavor and size!

LUMBERJACKS BUSINESS MODEL

When Founder, Jeff Garret, opened the first Lumberjacks Restaurant in Redding, California in 2004, he knew the restaurant industry was tough. But through hard-working and commitment to building a great, sustainable business model, the success of Lumberjacks has gone through the roof and in relatively short order. With development of both corporate and franchise restaurants, Lumberjacks has quickly yet methodically expanded to nine locations in California and Nevada. Now, continuing to grow fast and through a franchise model, there is no plan of stopping anytime soon with growth projected throughout the Rocky Mountain region and beyond.

By offering an extensive menu of classic dishes with something for everyone, families can enjoy a log cabin dining experience that they just can't get enough of at any other place. With a value matched by none, Lumberjacks is proud to announce its next wave of growth and continues to look for additional qualified franchisees to help carry on the Lumberjacks legacy.
