A sad day for Frisco citizens! After over 40 years, Bubba’s Cooks Country, a fried chicken eatery, closed its Preston Road location in Frisco on July 16, 2023. The University Park branch remains open, according to a Dallas Morning News article. In it they say,
“Bubba’s Cooks Country, a fried chicken restaurant with more than 40 years of history in Dallas-Fort Worth, closed on Preston Road in Frisco. Its last day in business was July 16, 2023.
It was the second Bubba’s in North Texas, following the restaurant that opened in 1981 across the street from Southern Methodist University in University Park. That longtime restaurant will remain open.
The Frisco restaurant had been open for four years, a majority of which was during the coronavirus pandemic. Tiffany Vinyard Wheeless, co-owner of Bubba’s, told The Dallas Morning News the newer restaurant didn’t meet sales goals and fell short of profitability objectives.”
Bubba’s menu features a range of flavorful fried chicken options, which include, but are not limited to:
- Bubba’s Original
- Nashville Hot
- The Italian Stallion
- Clubb’n
- Buffalo Bill
- Sides
- Dessert
Bubba’s Cooks Country shut its doors at its Frisco location on July 16, 2023, located at 4585 Preston Road. However, its Dallas restaurant at 6617 Hillcrest Ave. in Snider Plaza continues to serve customers.
