customers in this new casual, family-friendly
atmosphere. Scott Enterprises is well-known in the Erie market
– a good corporate citizen and committed to supporting the
communities in which they operate. We look forward to working with

said we would bring a new concept to Erie and create even more jobs

complement to several of our other franchise operations.
Famous Dave's rubs and sauces coupled with their superior smoking
process makes this award-winning BBQ the real deal," said Nick
