  Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is launching new products system-wide that will not only reduce its carbon footprint but generate more opportunities for profitability for Owner/Operators. New greener
  products include paper products, clamshell takeout containers and wood pellets as well as the elimination of foam products. Eco-friendly catering plates are also in the works and are planned to
  debut by May 2016.
</p>
<p>
  <span style="line-height: 1.42857;">Dickey’s new paper towels not only replace current back-of-house paper products, but will also replace front-of-house napkins. These unbleached towels are made
  from 40 percent post-consumer recycled fiber and exceed EPA guidelines. New toilet paper also exceeds EPA guidelines, made from 25 percent post-consumer recycled fiber and meets the Green Seal
  standard by using less water and no chlorine during processing. Dickey’s is also using butcher paper for dine-in service, which is made of natural unbleached craft paper and is fully
  recyclable.</span>
</p>
<p>
  <span style="line-height: 1.42857;">New clamshell takeout containers are made of 100 percent sugarcane, which is fully compostable and fully recyclable. They are lined with wax, which gives the
  containers the sturdiness needed for takeout but also allow them to be fully eco-friendly. A new three-compartment catering plate made of sugarcane is also in the works to replace foam
  plates.</span>
</p>
<p>
  “We are proud to roll out these green improvements to current products,” says Tamala Fowler, Vice President of Purchasing and R&amp;D. “Positive feedback from Owner/Operators and guests inspire us
  to continue moving toward more sustainability initiatives and eco-friendly practices.”
</p>
<p>
  Dickey’s also rolled out its proprietary blend of wood pellets to be used in smokers last October with the debut of its newly redesigned store concept. The wood pellets are made of a blend of
  hickory, cherry and other flavorful woods, and use 80% less wood use than a traditional pit smoker, drastically reducing the carbon footprint.

After Texas, California has the most Dickey’s locations, with new stores opening every week across the state.

Owner-operators Michael and Margarita Tucker, who currently own the Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in La Quinta, have signed a development agreement to open three additional locations in Indio, Moreno Valley, and Redlands in 2016. Michael Tucker, an award-winning entrepreneur, is also the owner of multiple 7-Eleven franchises, where he won the prestigious Retailer Initiative Award for three consecutive years. Tucker shares, “I’ve been a business owner for most of my life, but the support I receive from Dickey’s makes all the difference.

Irvine Gets a Taste of Texas with Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Opening

<p>
  Dickey’s Barbecue Pit has executed a new development agreement for eight stores, with six to open in Nevada and two in Southern California. Originally from Montana, Owner/Operator Doug Dubin
  intends his investment to be a family business. His family has three generations of restaurant experience, and the fact that Dickey’s is still owned and operated by its founding family was a clear
  selling point as Dubin looked for franchise concepts.
</p>
<p>
  <span style="line-height: 1.42857;">Having personally experienced job scarcity resulting from the economic downturn, Dubin relocated his family to Pahrump, Nevada and became a car salesman. “We are
  opening a business because we want to provide career opportunities for our family and other families,” Dubin says. “We chose to invest in Dickey’s not only because of the reasonable franchise fees,
  but because of the level of support. I always know that someone at the home office will answer the phone when I call.” Dubin’s entire family plans to work in the new stores. His wife, brother and
  three daughters will all help manage the operations, and Dubin’s stores will hopefully be a future place of employment for his two young nephews as well.</span><br>
</p>
<p>
  <span style="line-height: 1.42857;">Dubin will open his first two stores in Pahrump and Summerlin, NV in 2016. Eventually Dubin will open six stores in the Las Vegas Valley and two in Southern
  California.</span><br>
</p>
<p>
  <span style="line-height: 1.42857;">“Dickey’s is still family owned and operated after nearly 75 years,” says Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We are proud to give
  other families the opportunity to own a business by investing with us.”</span><br>
