Last year in order to expand the business into other areas the marketing team changed the name.
They changed the name due to a conflict with a BBQ sauce company with the same name. The restaurant was originally called Oklahoma Joe's because the smoker they used to win competions was an "Oklahoma Joe" (a brand of smokers)
They changed their name over a year ago to align themselves with Kansas City
It's still Oklahoma Joe's and you should still get it out of a gas station. Everything else is just... not the same.
I heard it was because they had no more locations in Oklahoma. There was a kc star article on the name change
Last year, in order to expand the business, they added one new location, along with the original gas station. It is more in kansas City. So they changed the name.
