Published: 27 Sep 2020

KALAMAZOO (Sept. 25, 2020) Local small-business owner and Dickey’s franchisee Krage Fox is ringing in his barbecue joint’s two-year anniversary this fall with record breaking sales.
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Fox’s sales have continued to soar with August, July, and June store sales all seeing an average increase between 7 to 35% month-over-month.
The Western Michigan University alumnus and Michigan native has kept his restaurant’s doors open and continually serving the community throughout the pandemic with delivery, carry-out and online ordering. In addition, the Dickey’s Owner Operator gave away free barbecue lunches to Kalamazoo’s first responders as a thank you for their tireless efforts on the front line.
“We’re excited to celebrate two years in the community that has supported our business from day one. When we opened in 2018, we never anticipated facing anything like this, but it’s clear our Kalamazoo friends, family and neighbors love Dickey’s barbecue just as much as we do,” said Krage Fox, Kalamazoo Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Owner Operator. “We’re also so grateful to our valuable Pit Crew members and without their help or the community’s, Dickey’s in Kalamazoo wouldn’t be the same.”
“Krage is continually one of our highest performing Owner Operators nationwide and his passion for the community and great barbecue are electric. Krage is a shining example of doing both well and good in the community and we look forward to his continued success for many years to come,” Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc.
