Coinciding with the start of National BBQ Month and the kick-off of summer, BBQGuys.com, the leading specialty e-commerce platform for all things backyard – grills, outdoor kitchens, furniture and more – hosted an exclusive huddle and tour of its brand-new West Palm Beach Backyard Design Center in partnership with Teak + Table Outdoor with former NFL Quarterback Eli Manning on May 9.
Owned by Brand Velocity Group (BVG), the private equity firm in which Manning is a partner, BBQGuys brings more than 25 years of industry experience in the outdoor living space and an impressive track record of product innovation. The West Palm Beach Backyard Design Center is BBQGuys’ third design center in the U.S., with existing destinations in Atlanta, Georgia, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and plans to expand into additional strategic markets across the U.S.
During the event, guests had the opportunity to exclusively experience the new Backyard Design Center and learn about BBQGuys’ business concept from Manning as well as Russ Wheeler, CEO of BBQGuys, and Brand Velocity Group Founding and Managing Partner Steve Lebowitz. While enjoying light refreshments, guests explored and interacted with BBQGuys’ innovative outdoor kitchens and top-of-the-line grills, outdoor living accessories, and outdoor furniture, including design center partner Teak + Table’s designs.
Conveniently located at 500 Palm Street in the Flamingo Park Historic District, the 8,000-square-foot BBQGuys Backyard Design Center features beautiful and innovative outdoor kitchens and equipment, top-of-the-line grills, smokers, fire pits, outdoor furniture and outdoor lifestyle products from brand partners including Blaze, Lynx, DCS, Kalamazoo, Urban Bonfire, Hestan, Twin Eagles, Alfresco, Fire Magic, Napoleon, Mont Alpi, Everdure, Kamado Joe, Recteq, Forno Venetzia and many others.
