Old Pit Stop, New OBC!

Does This Spot Look Familiar?

 

Oregon Barbecue Company is VERY excited to announce that they will be making a much anticipated move to the old “Pit Stop” building by Walmart which is less than a quarter mile down the road from their current existing location in Lebanon.

“We’ve always loved the look and the feel of the old Pit Stop building,” said OBC’s President, Tanner Poff. “We cant even begin to explain how amazing we feel this move will be for the entire community!” The Oregon Barbecue Company (also known as OBC) has big plans in store for the old Pit Stop location as well as the city of Lebanon’s citizens. Poff continued, “We are going to transport our existing building down here so we can still serve up some BBQ while the remodel is underway. The plans are to have the remodeling finished within the next year where our customers will then have an amazing facility, with indoor seating as well as the picnic area that we will be adding on.”

Big plans indeed… The OBC vision is to make getting their Award Winning BBQ easier and more comfortable for families from the Lebanon and Sweet Home areas.

The move is scheduled to take place before March where they will move their existing trailered building down to the Pit Stop property and continue to serve BBQ from there while the renovation process unfolds on the actual building formerly known as the “Pit Stop”.

Soon it will be easier than ever to

“Come and get ‘Ya Some!”

Country Cares for St. Jude Kids is one of the most successful radio fundraising events in America and amongst the 200 radio stations across the country it has raised over $500 million in pledges for children of St. Jude since its inception in 1989. “We feel very strong about the St. Jude Program, and are extremely excited to be a part of such an amazing event” commented Nathan Pendley, VP of the Oregon BBQ Company. “Whenever it comes to children and the youth of our communities we always try to get involved and lend a hand however we can” he added.

The St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is one of the world’s premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases. Children from all 50 states have come through St. Jude for treatment, and thousands more around the world have benefited from the research conducted at the facility. St. Jude freely shares its research with the global medical community, and in addition the families of those who’ve received treatment never receive a bill from St. Jude. “Its an incredible thing that St. Jude is doing for the kids as well as the families of those who have to go through such emotionally hard times… they need to be focusing on each other and recovery, not worrying about the bills and monetary side of things” said Pendley, also adding  “St. Jude allows this to happen, and what a blessing it is. A true humanitarian example for the rest of the world to follow.”
