Family photo from GoFundMe for Rochelle Heinrichs
FARGO (KFGO/KVRR) — A local barbecue restaurant is changing hands after almost eight years of serving the Fargo-Moorhead community.
Jay’s Smokin’ BBQ announced that owners Jay and Rochelle Henrichs were taking a step back from the business after Rochelle was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer.
They are working to hand off the business, but say the details are still being ironed out.
“To be honest with you, we’re not sure what the future looks like. For Jay’s business-wise, we wish nothing but success and growth for those who are taking it over. For Jay personally, we’re not sure what the future holds or what the next step is,” the family said in a statement to KVRR.
They say their focus is currently on getting Rochelle through her cancer battle and working on fundraising ideas.
“Just hanging onto hope and faith,” the family said.
Jay’s first opened in the Moorhead Center Mall, before moving to their current location on the corner of Main Avenue and University Drive in Fargo in 2021.
