Virginia-based restaurant group is on the coveted Inc. 5000 list for the fifth time

RICHMOND, VA / ACCESSWIRE / August 16, 2024 / Sedona Taphouse Restaurants, NAPA Kitchen and Wine and parent company DJB Hospitality are proud to announce that they have been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies for the fifth year in a row.

DJB Hospitality currently oversees 16 Sedona Taphouse locations as well as one NAPA Kitchen and Wine location and expects to continue to expand its reach in the coming years. The two concepts bring different strengths to the portfolio: Sedona Taphouse is known for providing guests with unforgettable craft experiences with southwestern-inspired menus, a wide selection of craft beers, innovative cocktails and thoughtful wine lists. NAPA Kitchen and Wine, meanwhile, offers a California-influenced menu as well as a carefully curated wine, bourbon and cocktail list.

While the concepts’ tried-and-true menus are what drives DJB Hospitality’s success, the brands have also become known for their philanthropic support. Through the Dine Out for Charity initiative, each Sedona Taphouse location supports a local nonprofit each month. Since the program began, they have donated more than a million dollars to help the local communities that support their success. In addition to supporting local charities, both concepts have partnered nationally with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Through sales of the popular T2T Lemon Basil Martini, they support military heroes and first responders in need. Additionally, NAPA Kitchen and Wine participates annually in a local brunch weekend that supports a local animal shelter.

“A cornerstone of our success is our commitment to giving back to the communities we serve,” said Dennis Barbaro, founder and CEO of DJB Hospitality.

Philanthropy is a key ingredient in DJB Hospitality’s recipe for success, but the people behind the brands are also an essential component. Franchisees lay the foundation for the excellence of each location and DJB Hospitality is proud to nurture these relationships.

“Our experience with DJB Hospitality as a franchisee has been nothing short of exceptional. A great team of franchisor-level professionals dedicated to supporting our teams in meaningful and tangible ways. The group is responsive, knowledgeable, and everyone is experienced in restaurant operations and best practices. DJB Hospitality continues to evolve this great brand and break new ground by staying ahead of industry culinary and beverage trends,” said David Trout, Sedona Taphouse franchisee.
