Save The Pig!

The Sticky Pig Family needs your help!

 

In 2011, my father Dave Webb, my step-mother Jamie Webb, and myself, Ben Webb, opened up Dave's Sticky Pig in Madisonville Kentucky.  In 2016, my wife Ashley Webb joined our team.

Things were going wonderfully for 7 years.  Every single year, our sales grew - something unheard of in the restaurant industry.  Typically, a restaurant opens, peaks, and then levels off over about a 2 year period.  We consistently broke our sales records, month after month, year after year. We've even been featured in Southern Living Magazine as one of the South's top ten BBQ restaurants, and Kentucky Living for our made-from-scratch desserts, and USA Today put us in the top ten best places to get burgoo in Kentucky. In Madisonville, we have been the number one rated restaurant of any kind on TripAdvisor for several years running, and The Madisonville Messenger has given us awards multiple times in their annual People's Choice Awards. 

Things were going SO well, in fact, that our family decided to open another restaurant here in our hometown, serving breakfast and good southern down-home cooking.  Our 2nd restaurant was faced with challenge after challenge. With Dave's health declining and leading him to have two back surgeries over the last year, we just weren't able to make things work out with our second restaurant. At the end of April 2019, it's doors closed for good.

Now our first restaurant, the Sticky Pig you all have known and loved for 8 years, is in a dire situation. The debt we incurred trying to make our 2nd restaurant a success is about to drag Dave's Sticky Pig under with it. Without a miracle, our days are numbered, and they're very few.

We'd LOVE to reach our funding goal, get ourselves out of debt, and continue to grow and prosper alongside our community for decades to come. But ANYTHING helps. Short of a miracle, we barely have any time left. As we prepare to make our exit, our number one goal is to do right by our employees. None of us have ever had the pleasure of working with a more loyal, amazing, and supportive team than the one we have right now. Every cent that we earn right now is going towards making good on the promises we've made to our crew people. This is an incredibly sad thing for us, but the only way it could get any sadder would be to go down owing wages to our crew, who we think of as our Sticky Pig Family. If we fail to make our goal of keeping the business alive, then every penny we raise will go to local hardworking families and businesses who have extended their trust and support to us. 

Thank you all for your support, both past, present, and future!
