Alabama NewsCenter — Bill-E’s Small Batch Bacon and Bill-E’s the Restaurant have had a high-on-the-hog kind of year

This has been Bill E. Stitt’s year.

The founder and owner of Bill-E’s Small Batch Bacon and Bill-E’s the Restaurant, both in Fairhope, was recognized as a Silver Retailer of the Year by the Alabama Retail Association (sales of $1 million to $5 million annually; Stitt says these numbers apply independently to his bacon company and his restaurant).

He was named Alumnus of the Year in the School of Applied Sciences (Nutrition and Hospitality Management Program) at the University of Mississippi. Three major shippers and a solid online presence have allowed him to steadily grow his bacon business, putting more slices in homes and restaurants across the country. Bill-E’s the Restaurant is hopping and has become another Gulf Coast destination. And he’s even added dedicated spaces for creatives to work right in the middle of the sprawling, rustic, smoked meat-scented compound that is home to both the bacon business and his restaurant.
