The Fat Cowboys BBQ owners ‘close this chapter', sell business
PORT CRANE, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The owners of The Fat Cowboys BBQ in Port Crane announced on Facebook they sold the restaurant to new owners and will 'close this chapter' of their lives in pursuit of other interests.
Garrett and Amber Wagner, who bought the property at 69 State Route 7B in Port Crane in 2021 and opened The Fat Cowboys BBQ, shared a heartfelt post on Facebook with their customers to let them know their time running the now-beloved restaurant has come to an end.
'From day one, Port Crane has been at the heart of our journey. Your love, support, and loyalty have meant everything to us. The memories we've shared — the laughs, the events, the late nights, and the unforgettable flavors — will always hold a special place in our hearts,' the post read.
The Wagners say they have found a new buyer and are 'incredibly thankful' to them for believing in what makes The Fat Cowboys such a fan favorite. That includes the entire staff, which, according to the post, will be retained and kept on board through the leadership change.
'Our team has been the backbone of this business, working tirelessly since the beginning to serve you with the same care and integrity that made The Fat Cowboys what it is today.'
It is unclear as of March 18 whether or not The Fat Cowboys brand will remain, as the Wagners are letting the new owners carve their own path forward 'as we prepare to hand over the reins and give the new owners the chance to build their own dream. We will allow them to make their own big announcement for their introduction and plans.'
The final day of service will be Saturday, March 29.
'This isn't goodbye — it's just the next step in our journey. We'll always cherish the time we've spent together, and who knows — maybe you'll see us down the road with something new.'
