The first 100 customers in line on Saturday, June 15, will receive a free drink and Shane's signature sandwich, the "Big Dad®," a half pound of slow smoked, hand chopped barbecue pork named after Shane's grandfather.

Everyone who enters one of the many free raffles during the weekend will be eligible for any of the grand prizes: a ride in a pace car at Richmond International Raceway, a free catering for 25 people, or their very own Big Green Egg - the backyard grill that every barbecue customer would love to have!
Shane's will dotate a large portion of the weekend's proceeds to PACKids, an organization dedicated to building a freestanding, consolidated children's hospital in the Richmond area. More than 250 pediatricians have given their support to PACKids and its vision for a children's hospital system totally dedicated and exclusively committed to the care of the region's children. These pediatricians agree that consolidating all the best pediatric specialists in the area under one unified roof is the best way to provide the best care for our kids. Stop by Shane's Rib Shack to learn more about PACKid's at their booth during the grand opening weekend.
"Richmond is part of the barbecue heartland, and we are very proud to add Shane's Rib Shack to the scene," says Thompson. "We started in a tiny shack south of Atlanta selling slow-smoked barbecue basted in my grandfather's secret sauce. We are all about great food, incredible service, and a commitment to the community. We could not be more proud than to have the opportunity to support the phenomenal efforts of PACKids."
The Midlothian location will be at 11501 Busy Street.
