Well, sort of.
I have become friends with PJ over the past few years and he has previously discussed with me his idea to offer franchises in a barbecue restaurant concept that isn't exactly like PJ's, but uses the same recipes and perhaps PJ's congenial approach to customer service and appreciation. Sounds like a winning plan to me!
I talked to PJ on the phone the other day (he spends his winters in Florida - where in Florida? Sarasota - not kidding) and we talked briefly about his new venture, then a few days later I got the postcard I copied and posted below. I haven't talked to him in depth about this yet but as I have said on here before I really love PJ's Bar-B-Q and obviously the credit for that enjoyable restaurant goes to PJ, Carolyn and their kids John and Jady.
If they are offering to expand their positive energy into franchises I think that's great and I look forward to it.
