Johnny Ray’s Barbecue on Huntley Parkway in South Pelham remains closed.  On Friday, the Alabama Department of Public Health shut down the restaurant after four people tested positive for salmonella.

The temporary closure of that Johnny Ray’s is causing some confusion for the other Johnny Ray’s in Pelham. The general manager of the restaurant on Pelham Parkway, near Oak Mountain, Darrell Hall, told WIAT that they’ve taken a huge hit financially.

Hall said, over the weekend, they only brought in a third of the business they usually do. They hope Bama fans come in on Monday for some barbecue and to watch the National Championship Game.

Hall said, “We are open for business. This is not the store that’s been contaminated. We hate it for the other location, but we are here. We’re open for you, and we are looking forward to a big night.”
