We&#8217;re like retired now, so this really helps us live the life that we are used to living,&#8221; Owner of Harlon&#8217;s BBQ Candace Harlon said. &#8220;In three weeks, you can do what a company does in one year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The family business was started by Candace&#8217;s father.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;He opened up the barbecue place out of an old gas station, and it was just. It started out from there,&#8221; Harlon said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">That vision led to the next generation serving turkey legs, ribs, loaded meat potatoes, chopped brisket sandwiches and more from their rodeo location.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;We have learned if you take care of the business, it will take care of you.
