He grew Ruby Tuesday. Now, his own Maryville restaurant group is expanding | Exclusive
After four decades in the corporate restaurant business, including as a Ruby Tuesday executive in its early years, Bart Fricks is betting on himself and on Maryville as he grows his own hospitality group. Fricks and his wife, Marti, had raised their kids and were nearing retirement when they decided there was more left on the table. The couple met in a small pizza place roughly 40 years ago, and the decision to build something of their own brought them back to the food that started it all. They formed Nostalgic Hospitality four years ago and in 2023 bought Jaboni's Pizzeria, a Maryville restaurant serving New York-style slices to a loyal base of regulars. This year, the couple expanded their Maryville portfolio by acquiring The Hop 50's Drive-In, which Fricks said will reopen in a few months, and Hot Rods 50's Diner in Alcoa. Running local restaurants has given Fricks a different perspective on the restaurant industry, one focused more on people and service than the scale and numbers that can drive corporate groups. "I could see the growth in Maryville," Fricks told Knox News. "It's really community oriented. Knoxville has pockets of community, but Maryville is one big community."
