Barbeques Galore was founded in 1972 in a residential garage in Sydney, Australia. The company designs, sells, and manufactures BBQ grills and other outdoor items for the home.
The first store opened in Australia in 1977. The company expanded to the US, opening its first store in 1980. At first the company only placed stores in warmer areas, where people can grill outdoors almost year around. Later, the company began expanding into seasonal areas, such as Virginia and Maryland. The recession of 2008 hit the company hard and it filed for bankruptcy in August of 2008. Barbeques Galore was purchased by Grand Home Holdings, Inc. out of bankruptcy court. The new owners immediately closed all locations east of Texas.
Today, Barbeques Galore has 23 locations in Texas, California, and Arizona. They have updated their inventory to also include items such as fire pits, outdoor patio furniture, outdoor heaters, and kitchens.
