About Tudor's Biscuit World
Tudor's Biscuit World is a beloved fast-casual restaurant chain that originated in Charleston, West Virginia, in 1980.

Their son, John Tudor, joined the family business shortly after its inception, contributing to its rapid expansion.
History and Growth
In 1986, the Tudor family partnered with Oshel Craigo, a renowned West Virginia restaurateur known for building the Gino's Pizza & Spaghetti House chain.
