Local entrepreneurs Keith Powell of Summit Industrial Flooring and Kim Powell of Woodhouse Day Spa revealed the opening of their newest business endeavor, Beef Jerky Outlet. The franchise’s Charleston location will be at 85-A S. Market Street, Charleston, SC 29401. The Powells announced that there will be a soft opening for the new venture on March 7th prior to a grand opening and ribbon cutting on March 29th.

The Beef Jerky Outlet Franchise specializes in more than 100 varieties of beef jerky, from original to blazing hot. Beef Jerky Outlet is the nation’s leading premium jerky retailer and recently ranked in Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500, the world’s first, best, and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Excited to test out the Charleston market with their new business, the Powells are confident it will be a great success seeing as placement in the Franchise 500 is a highly sought-after honor in the franchise industry.

Prior to the soft opening, The Beef Jerky Outlet will be involved with the 2019 Southeastern Wildlife Exposition at Brittlebank Park this Friday through Sunday (February 15th - 17th) giving out samples of their “PETA” dog treats. The new franchise will also participate in the Birds of a Feather Ladies Brunch Benefit taking place on Saturday, February 16th from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the Francis Marion Hotel, where they will be serving beef jerky canapes.
