The Marchants have spent the last year operating Code 1 BBQ as a catering and preorder takeout barbecue place out of a kitchen in Woburn.
The company's full-service catering team remains available for birthdays, graduations, holidays, family and friend gatherings, private or corporate luncheons, parties, events, and weddings, Erica Marchant said.
Erica Marchant is an author, entrepreneur and chef, and Sean Marchant is an Air Force veteran — which is the inspiration for the Code 1 name — and will serve as the restaurant's pitmaster.
"Our vision for Code 1 BBQ is to continue to create delicious, scratch-made smoked meats and sides for our family, friends, neighbors and local communities," Erica Marchant wrote on Facebook. "We chose Wilmington especially because we live here and are so excited to be a part of the growing business community here. Supporting our community and local business is a priority for us."
