The Rusnaks, after retiring from the United States Air Force, have been with the Dickey's Barbecue Pit family for five years. They are hoping to turn their now four locations into a growing family business by bringing their son into the equation. "We are excited to open this new location and have the opportunity to serve the residents of La Junta," says Bob Rusnak. "The Dickey's brand has grown so much in our years as owners and we are happy to see where it goes in the future."

Residents of La Junta can find their newest Dickey's location at Red Lion Hotel, 1325 East 3^rd St. La Junta, CO 81050. The phone number is 719-383-3943.
