About
In 2008, off of Highway 80 in Sunnyvale, Texas Brad and Yolanda took an abandoned gas station and turned it into a dream. Originally intended as a tire shop, a twist of fate and just $500 led them to start small, selling snacks to passersby. But the real magic began when BBQ sandwiches for truckers became a hit. In no time, they pivoted fully to BBQ, igniting a passion that led to their second location in Seagoville a decade later. And from there the legacy took off!
They decided to name the place Shorty's, after Yolanda's Father's CB Radio Nickname. Brad and Yolanda bought what they needed and decided to sell brisket and hot link sandwiches. With no idea how to cook brisket or BBQ, they took a trip to the local Walmart and spoke with the butcher to get instruction. They were able to buy one brisket to start out with. They even had to figure out how to properly cut a brisket. Business was great at first. But over the years, they struggled to keep the business afloat, as the other businesses around them shut down or moved to new locations.
