Rib Crib Essentials
Tulsa, Oklahoma-based barbecue chain Rib Crib made a business pivot during COVID-19 restrictions, to start selling high-demand grocery and pantry items. Dubbed Essentials, the service launched April 13 in Springfield – at 1720 S. Campbell Ave. and 1640 N. Glenstone Ave. – and across its eight-state footprint. While the restaurants are closed to dine-in traffic, customers can buy over 30 items for curbside pickup, as well as from its barbecue menu. Rib Crib Facilities Director Bob Luke said Essentials started to provide options for consumers worried about crowded grocery stores and limited choices in stock. Products include eggs, milk, cheese, bacon, toilet paper and vegetables. Prices begin at $1 for an onion or tomato and top out at $80 for a 12-14-pound whole raw brisket, according to its website. Both Springfield restaurants have temporary limited hours, Luke said, with delivery options for Essentials planned.
