Saddleback Turned 11 and We're Trying Something We've Never Done Before.
Every year, we like to celebrate Saddleback's anniversary in a big way.
This year marks 11 years since we opened our doors in REO Town. Normally, we'd be planning a party, a special menu, or some kind of event to celebrate.
The truth is, we're a little busy.
Between Assembly taking shape in Mason, conducting many interviews trying to find the right team, construction meetings, and being right in the middle of one of the busiest catering seasons we've ever had, we knew we couldn't put together an anniversary celebration that lived up to our standards.
So instead, we decided to create something that represents this moment in our company's history.
The result is our new "The States" #11 shirt.
It's a nod to Saddleback's 11th anniversary, our excitement for the World Cup, and the fact that Christian Pulisic, the face of Mens American soccer wears #11 for AC Milan.
Sometimes things just line up.
And because we wanted this to be more than just a t-shirt, we're doing something a little different.
For $49.99, you'll receive:
- One "The States" #11 shirt
- A $50 Saddleback Restaurant Group gift card

A few details:

- We will send all git cards as e gift cards..
Eleven years ago, Saddleback was one barbecue restaurant in REO Town.
Today, we're preparing to open Assembly in Mason while continuing to grow the brands that got us here.
We're incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported us over the last 11 years, whether you've been with us since the beginning or just discovered us recently.
Thank you for being part of the story.
Here's to Year 11.
