History

The company, originally named Mountainbrook Fresh Bread & Milk (eventually known as Pizzaville), started as two bread stores in Burlington, North Carolina[2] The founder, Maurice Jennings, began making pizzas, and soon wanted a way to put the business to work in the morning. The company began making biscuits, from a recipe developed by the Jennings family, and eventually the company sold more biscuits than pizzas.[3] The company opened its first biscuit-only operation named "Biscuitville", located in Danville, Virginia.

In 2007, the corporate headquarters was moved to Greensboro, North Carolina.[4]

As of July 2021, Biscuitville has 65+ locations.[5]
