“It had been on the market silently for about three weeks before his passing,” Olsen said. To reach the full capacity of possibilities for the property, the decision was made to make the listing public and it was listed through the Commercial Professionals firm Friday afternoon.
Olsen said to his knowledge and in communicating with those involved with Dosey Doe, all operations are proceeding normally and all future shows are still planned with the venue on the market.
Shows are planned through July 11, 2026, as listed on the Dosey Doe ticketing website. The Dosey Doe Big Barn Facebook page also said the venue would continue to operate normally.
Said owned the Big Barn, Dosey Doe Coffee Shop in Alden Bridge and the Dosey Doe Breakfast, BBQ, & Whiskey Bar on Research Forest.
A Facebook announcement on Dosey Doe’s page Thursday showed the Big Barn would open for breakfast from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Coffee shop hours are 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Online Dosey Doe Breakfast, BBQ, & Whiskey Bar was listed as closed and a phone number for the business was not working late last week. Its future is not yet officially determined.
