Sayre Hospitality Group Announces Decision Not to Proceed with Omahoma Bob’s Opportunity

Smithville, OH — 5/5/26 — Sayre Hospitality Group (SHG) today announced that it will not be moving forward with the previously explored acquisition of Wooster, OH based Omahoma Bob’s BBQ.

Both parties had progressed significantly through the acquisition process, with preliminary agreements in place as final legal documentation was being completed. However, Omahoma Bob’s ownership elected not to proceed with the transaction. Sayre Hospitality Group respects their decision and appreciates the time and dialogue shared throughout the process.

As SHG previously communicated this opportunity publicly on its corporate website, including advertising a general manager position, the company believes it is important to provide this update for clarity.

“SHG is committed to pursuing opportunities that align with our values, vision, and standards for partnership,” said Brian Sayre, Owner of Sayre Hospitality Group. “While this process will not move forward as planned, our focus and momentum have not changed.”

Sayre Hospitality Group continues to prioritize operational excellence, leadership development, and strategic growth across its portfolio of brands.

“Our conviction and momentum is strong,” Sayre added. “We are building for the long term, and we are grateful for the trust of our team, partners, and community as we move forward to fulfill the overarching mission of our company—to be used as a tool for the Kingdom of God.”

SHG extends its sincere thanks to the Omahoma Bob’s team and wishes them continued success.
