Little Pigs BBQ in Anderson Sold; Changes not Expected

Little Pigs BBQ, a tradition in Anderson since 1968, has been sold.

Current owners Matt and Amy Leonard have decided to sell the establishment which they bought five years ago due to family illness. The new owner Melvin Bright has no plans to make "serious" changes to the restaurant.

Here is the Facebook post of the announcement:

"It is with a heavy heart that I am posting this, those who know me personally know that I never post personal business, ever! So with that i must let you all know that with much prayer and consideration Matt and I have sold the restuarant to allow us the time we need to take care of his precious mother. Dementia is horrible and robs families of memories and time together. You see i lost my dad 2 years ago to dementia and i worked 12 hrs a day, then would go help feed, bathe and spend every second i could in Hope's he would not forget me. It almost killed me and now facing it again we have made the decision that family always comes first! We sold the Pig to a man named Melvin Bright in Hope's that he will continue the tradition that my family fought to maintain for the last 5 years and we did it very well. It is up to them now. My heart aches to leave so many people in this great town that have supported us on this journey, and you will be missed! To my friends and family..your love, support and encouragement mean more than anything to us. So as i told my staff, it's not goodbye..its see you later...much love to you all."
