March of 1986 was the grand opening of the original Beach Bully on 31st and Baltic Ave in Virginia Beach, a small (approximately 1000 sq. ft.) rustic (pot belly stove for heat) building was a giant step in the right direction. Business (with a staff of two -- Rick and Chris) was instantly a success and almost immediately the catering business blossomed, the largest catering job being in only their second year was for 12,000 people. The restaurant menu which started with sliced smoked beef sandwiches, french fries, chips, canned drinks, and draft beer, has grown to over 70 items.
