Bowling Green’s Smokey Bones Barbecue & Grill was recently purchased by a Florida company, while Logan’s Roadhouse officials said this week they will reopen the Bowling Green restaurant Monday after a fire closed the location for several months.

According to the purchase agreement, Sun Capital Partners Inc. affiliate Barbecue Integrated will purchase 73 Smokey Bones restaurants from Darden Restaurants Inc. for $80 million, investing “expertise and resources to help position Smokey Bones for future expansion in both existing and new markets,” according to a news release.

Darden Restaurants said earlier this year it would close 54 Smokey Bones locations and sell the rest because the barbecue restaurants weren’t meeting its growth expectations. Darden spokesperson Joe Chabus said then that Bowling Green’s Smokey Bones was one of the company’s strongest, which is why it was kept open.

Smokey Bones Chief Executive Officer Ian Baines said Tuesday that Smokey Bones will beef up operations by adding new flavors to its hickory-smoked barbecue, focusing more on beer and frozen adult beverages and continue to improve service for its casual dining atmosphere.

Anthony Polazzi, vice president of Sun Capital Partners Inc., said Smokey Bones had the right ingredients for future growth, including “high average sales per restaurant, strong restaurant management teams, established operating systems and a unique barbecue flavor platform that is growing in popularity.”

Sun Capital Partners is the same company whose affiliates own Boston Market, Friendly Ice Cream, Sweet Tomatoes, Chevy’s Fresh Mex, Fazoli’s, Bruegger’s and other restaurant brands. The eight restaurant affiliates have more than 2,200 locations and $3.4 billion in sales combined.

In other restaurant news, Nashville-based Logan’s Roadhouse said this week it will reopen its Bowling Green restaurant at 11 a.m. Monday at 2920 Scottsville Road.

But the company said it still doesn’t know what caused the fire at the restaurant earlier this year that had closed the locale in August, according to spokeswoman Susan Morgenstern.

According to President and CEO Tom Vogel, the restaurant has been restored with a new kitchen, dining area murals and additional upgrades.

The company will make a special donation to the Firefighters Union as a result of efforts to respond to the fire.

Logan’s opened its first location in Lexington in 1991. Now it has more than 160 owned and operated restaurants and 26 franchised locations in 20 states.
