🍖 Holloway's BBQ Moves to Cherry Street Location in Dunlap, Expanding with New Venue Space

After 550 days building a loyal following at their original Rankin Avenue location, Holloway's is relocating to a larger space on Cherry Street that will feature indoor and outdoor seating, an event venue, and room for the community gatherings that have become central to the restaurant’s identity in the Sequatchie Valley.

📍 New Home, New Chapter

Holloway's will open its doors at 169 Cherry Street in Dunlap with a soft opening toward the end of October and full-time operations beginning November 3rd. 🎉 The expanded location promises indoor and outdoor seating along with a dedicated outdoor venue space for events-a significant step up from the original Rankin Avenue restaurant that has served as the foundation for the business since its launch.

Owners Eddie and Ash described the move as an answer to prayer, noting they had been watching the Cherry Street space for some time before the opportunity came together. The new venue is designed to accommodate the restaurant’s growing catering business, which has already completed over 100 events, while creating room for future community gatherings and celebrations.

⭐ What Stays Behind

The original location at 16886 Rankin Avenue won’t sit empty. 🏪 Holloway's will open Lil Bo Peeps Children’s Boutique and Consignment shop at that address, keeping the space active within the local business community and offering a new retail option for families in the area.

💡 What This Means for the Valley

The expansion reflects the restaurant’s deep roots in the Sequatchie Valley community. What began as a simple idea-sketched on a piece of paper-to bring quality BBQ and burgers to the region has grown into a gathering place with a loyal customer base that owners describe as family. The move to a larger venue with event space suggests Holloway's is positioning itself not just as a restaurant, but as a community hub for celebrations and gatherings. ✨

For residents who have made Holloway's part of their routine, the Cherry Street location offers easier access and expanded capacity. The new outdoor venue space opens possibilities for private events, celebrations, and community occasions-a natural next step for a business that has built its reputation on hospitality and connection.
