Local Entrepreneur Brings Dickey’s Texas-style Barbecue to Gallup

Published: 30 Apr 2018

  

(Gallup, NM) Barbecue enthusiasts, Michael and Dawn Carnel bring Dickey’s Barbecue Pit to their hometown of Gallup, NM. This will be the couple’s first Dickey’s location to open with plans to open more in the future. 

The Gallup location is slated to open in Summer 2018. 

“We are always thrilled we add new members to our Dickey’s Barbecue Pit family, especially those who are new to the restaurant industry,” says Laura Rea Dickey. “With the Dickey’s franchise model, we help passionate owners such as Michael and Dawn, open their local restaurant while still having the safety net of being backed by the largest barbecue chain in the world, and that, makes everything we do at Dickey’s worth it.” 

Originally from the Gallup area, the Carnels are experienced local business owners in the hotel industry. The duo looks forward to breaking into the restaurant industry by bringing Dickey’s Barbecue Pit to their local community. 

“We have always been huge fans of Dickey’s delicious, slow-smoked barbecue,” says Michael. “Our area is in need of a great barbecue option and we are proud to be the ones to offer it to the residents of our community.”
