For over 50 years, Biscuitville has been a local, family-owned company known for serving up authentic Southern breakfast food made fresh daily from locally sourced ingredients. With over 60 quick-casual locations in North Carolina and Virginia, we`ve assembled a new, driven, and experienced leadership team committed to unprecedented growth. Since our rebranding in 2014 as Biscuitville Fresh Southern®, we`ve embarked on completely remodeling all our restaurants. And, in stark contrast to most of our competitors, we`ve experienced double-digit sales increases throughout fiscal year 2017. We`re proud of the fact that our fresh-baked biscuits have become almost legendary here in the South. (Garden & Gun magazine included them among their “100 Southern Foods You Absolutely Must Try Before You Die.”) Yet what truly sets us apart is our entrepreneurial spirit. We build amazing teams of passionate individuals while creating an open, collaborative environment designed to foster personal growth. And we encourage that growth to extend beyond the workplace: Our restaurants all close at 2 p.m., and our corporate headquarters closes at 3 p.m. every Friday—allowing for a work-life balance not found anywhere else in our industry.
Based in Berkeley, CA, UPSIDE Foods (formerly known as Memphis Meats) is developing a way to grow real meat, poultry and seafood directly from animal cells, without the need to raise and slaughter animals. These products are not vegetarian, plant-based or meat alternatives -- they are real meat, made without the animal. Founded as the world`s first cultivated meat company in 2015, UPSIDE Foods has achieved numerous industry-defining milestones, including being the first company to produce multiple species of meat (beef, chicken and duck). The company believes that people shouldn`t have to choose between the foods they love and a thriving planet, and is working to build a better food system where everybody has access to delicious, humane, and sustainable meat. UPSIDE Foods has won various industry awards, including New York Times` Good Tech Awards, FastCo`s Next Big Thing in Tech, and the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation by the National Association for Business Resources.
