After more than 15 wonderful years serving the community, Joey’s Smokin’ BBQ will permanently close on Friday, March 7th, 2025. There are a multitude of reasons why I made the decision to close Joey’s, but at the end of the day burnout is real. Operating a business for 15 years as a sole owner is tough…real tough. As my lease was expiring, I felt this was the right time to move onto the next chapter of my life.

Although closing the business is sad, I’ve experienced countless connections with so many customers. Celebrating birthdays, graduations, and weddings goes without saying. I’ve happily witnessed young kids grow up and have children of their own and also watched as some customers battled through health issues. These connections and memories are all a part of me now and will be forever.

Thank you for your support over the years. I won’t be able to personally say goodbye to everyone before closing our doors, but as I’m a local guy you’ll probably see me around town. If you spot me, please don’t hesitate to come over and say hello..

Sincerely,

Tom
