Biscuitville Fresh Southern®

History

The company, originally named Mountainbrook Fresh Bread & Milk (eventually known as Pizzaville), started as two bread stores in Burlington, North Carolina[2] The founder, Maurice Jennings, began making pizzas, but soon wanted a way to put the business to work in the morning. The biscuit recipe was developed by the Burlington Pizzaville store Manager Jack King. The company began making biscuits, and the company eventually sold more biscuits than pizzas.[3] The company opened its first biscuit-only operation named "Biscuitville", located in Danville, Virginia, in 1975 which was closed in October 2020.[4][5]

In 2007, the corporate headquarters was moved to Greensboro, North Carolina.[6]

As of July 2020, Biscuitville has 62 locations.[7]
