The Owensboro Magazine 2009 - (Page 63) Foreman said his regular customers eat in his dining room five to seven times a week. The most expensive item on the menu is $11.75. “That’s the combo plate,” Foreman said, “and it’s a lot of food.” But the average ticket price is about $7 or $8 per person. “I’d rather treat people fair and have them come back,” Foreman said. “I think people in Owensboro appreciate that.” Foreman said that employees know many of the regulars on a first-name basis. When he needs work done at the restaurant, he’ll usually seek out one of his customers. “We try to do business with people that do business with us,” he said. And to keep business as local as possible, Foreman also strives to purchase his food supplies from local vendors. Old Hickory Pit Bar-B-Q has been honed to a finely oiled machine and Foreman said he doesn’t see many changes for the future. The family has avoided franchising to maintain consistency. “We may expand one day,” Foreman said, “but I don’t want to get stretched too thin. We don’t try to make the big sale.” If there’s a secret to Old Hickory’s success aside from quality food at good prices, it may be the family’s tenacity and dedication to treat its regular customers, its friends and neighbors fairly, consistently. “We concentrate on local people,” Foreman said. “We always consider ourselves the local place where all the locals go.” ● Because we care. 3015 Old Hartford Road, Owensboro, KY 42303 203 W. 17th Street, Hopkinsville, KY 42240 888.684.9296 www.wkrbc.org ������������������ ���������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������ ��������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������������������� ���������� �������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� OWENSBORO 2009 63
