"We are looking forward to offering Valleyfair Park something truly new and different – not your average theme park food," said multi-unit franchise owner Shawn Lindsey, who also owns a Dickey's in Savage. "This should be a fun summer!"

"We are located near the entrance of Planet Snoopy," said Lindsey.  "It's the perfect spot to stop in for some slow smoked barbecue."
