Easyriders to Expand El Paso Bar-B-Que Chain

Easyriders Inc. of Agoura Hills said it has gotten $6.7 million in financing commitments to expand its El Paso Bar-B-Que restaurant chain. Easyriders, which publishes the motorcycle magazine of the same name, has three El Paso Bar-B-Que restaurants in Phoenix and an Easyriders restaurant in Fresno.

The company said it will use the loans to complete construction of a new El Paso eatery in Tulsa, Okla., and to convert its Easyriders restaurant in Fresno to the El Paso name.

An additional restaurant is planned at an undisclosed location.
