History
Bill Darragh worked in both the beer and food distribution businesses with local distributors of national brands. He desired to open his own business and set out to find a franchise that incorporated his passion and experience. Bill was introduced to The Casual Pint franchise at an expo. It was there he met Nathan Robinette and learned about the small family- run franchise out of Knoxville, TN. Nathan and his father Jon were in the grocery business and joined together to open the first Casual Pint in Knoxville TN in 2011. Now the entire Robinette family is involved in the business. Bill and his wife Donna decided together to open a location in Chapel Hill, NC. This is where their ties are the strongest. Donna has worked in the local school system for almost 20 years. Bill delivered beer to the businesses in Chapel Hill. They are both die hard UNC fans who have had season football tickets since 1996.
