From the Paper:
"Famous Dave's of America operates and franchises about one hundred and eighty barbecue restaurants in about thirty five states, primarily Minnesota, Illinois, California and Wisconsin. Most of the restaurants are designed to resemble 1930's-era roadhouse shacks complete with antique items and Americana touches. Other stores try to recreate the feeling of a hunting lodge or a Chicago-style blues club featuring live music."Famous Dave's has a prototypical design that includes a designated bar, a signature exterior smokestack, a separate entrance for the TO GO business and a patio. This design allows them to take advantage of a consistent trade-dress and readily identifiable look and feel for their future locations. They have a 5,000 square foot package that can be built as a free standing building, a 4,000 square foot model that most likely would be constructed as an end cap of a building, and a 2,400 square foot design which would be constructed as a counter service location in an existing building. In 2010, they effectively converted some restaurants from existing casual dining chains. In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Orange, California, two franchise partners built counter service style restaurants, utilizing one of their smaller foot print prototypes."
