As a veteran of the U.S. Army, Brendan Powers looked to open a franchise during his retirement to run with his wife of 27 years and his two sons. When researching franchising concepts, Powers found a home in Dickey’s Barbecue Pit due to his passion of great barbecue and Dickey’s family oriented brand. “Dickey’s was the perfect fit for my family’s first franchise,” says Brendan Powers. “Our family looks forward to serving the families of our community.”


 


The new Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Newark is located at 2832 Pulaski Highway Newark, DE 19702. The phone number is 302-203-0040.
