Big Whiskey’s Hoover Location Sets New Single-Day Sales Record

High-Performing Franchise Location Demonstrates Strength of Brand Momentum and Operational Excellence

March 23, 2026, Springfield, MO – Big Whiskey’s American Restaurant & Bar is celebrating a major milestone as its Hoover, Alabama, location achieved the highest single-day sales in the brand’s history. The record-setting performance reflects growing momentum in new markets and the strength of its franchise model.

This achievement builds on Hoover’s track record as a top-performing location and go-to destination in the Birmingham metro area, known for consistent operations, a high-quality guest experience, and strong community connection. Driven by franchise partners of Radiant Investment, Amaan & Zee’s leadership, the team delivers efficient, high-volume service without compromising the guest experience. The location set franchise sales records in its first year, establishing a foundation of operational discipline and a people-first approach that continues to drive results today.

At roughly 6,000 square feet, Hoover is one of Big Whiskey’s larger store models, designed to handle high guest traffic while maintaining a comfortable dining experience. The addition of Whiskey’s Yard, the restaurant’s outdoor eatertainment space, has expanded seating and created a lively outdoor gathering space that performs especially well during peak periods.

Operational technology has also supported the location’s performance. Back-of-house systems like Toast streamline kitchen communication and improve ticket times, helping the team handle high order volume with speed and consistency. During this period, Big Whiskey’s leaned into its value-focused menu strategy, including the brand’s popular 2 for $44.99 offering, which continues to resonate with guests looking for quality meals and great value.

“This achievement reflects the strength of our franchise partners and the systems that support them,” said Austin Herschend, CEO of Big Whiskey’s. “Amaan and Zee have built an incredible team in Hoover, and this record-setting day shows what’s possible when strong leadership and great guest experiences come together.”

As Big Whiskey’s continues expansion across the South and Midwest, the Hoover location’s milestone highlights how strong franchise partnerships and operational consistency are fueling the brand’s continued growth.
