TOMCO Retail Construction is a certified, woman owned small business providing client-focused general contracting and construction project management services. 'Constructing Tomorrow' is ingrained in our culture and we accomplish this through meaningful connections, honesty and integrity. Our goal is to build long-term relationships with our clients and become a master of their brands. We understand that the process of on-boarding a new general contractor is a time-consuming investment. We take these opportunities seriously and are committed to being a strong investment in the futures of our business partners. Our mission is not to simply complete construction projects, it is to excel at the process. We do not want to partner with every retailer, we want to be a great partner with the retailers we work with. We believe that this commitment is the reason we have been able to maintain 20+ year relationships in this industry. We don’t want to be the biggest, we want to be the BEST.

We raised the bar on Bar-B-Que over 48 years ago. Soulman’s opened its doors in Pleasant Grove, a suburb of Dallas, on October 19, 1974. Using timeless BBQ techniques and old family recipes (which we still use today), Soulman’s quickly became a popular destination for local residents and a welcomed departure from “run of the mill” Bar-B-Que. We offer a large variety of mouthwatering meats including beef, chicken, ham, turkey, pork, sausage, hot links, and the customer favorite, ribs. All of our meats are cooked “low and slow” over hickory wood, just the way it’s always been done. Side items like potato salad, cole slaw, ranch house beans and fresh cut French fries, are all prepared on site with methods and recipes that haven’t changed since we opened. Coining the motto “we’re not stingy with our meat”, and with self-serve vegetables, we strongly believe in large portion sizes. We are convinced our customers appreciate getting their money’s worth and keep coming back for great BBQ at a good value. Soulman’s currently owns and operates 19 North and East Texas locations in Allen, Cedar Hill, Forney, Garland, Greenville, Hurst, Lancaster, Lewisville, Mesquite, Quinlan, Rockwall (2), Royse City, Terrell, Mansfield, Fort Worth, Red Oak, Sulphur Springs and Van.
