DALLAS, TX (November 7, 2024) –The Dickey Foundation’s 3rd Annual Denim & Diamonds fundraiser sparkled brighter than ever, bringing together over 250 attendees and raising an impressive $230,000 to support our nation’s first responders. Held at The Empire Room in Dallas, this record-setting event blended glamorous style, heartfelt giving, and a shared commitment to those who protect our communities every day.

The evening featured a unique and dazzling Champagne Diamond Bar provided by Carter Malouf, while the popular Beer Burro stole the show, delighting guests with its craft selections and creating buzz as attendees lined up for photos.

The Dickey Foundation Raises $230K at 3rd Annual Fundraiser

**Legacy in Action: Two Third-Generation Family Businesses Join Forces to Expand Community, Quality, and Flavor in the Gulf South** 

Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc., America’s premier name in Texas-style barbecue, is thrilled to announce a partnership with Gaubert Oil, bringing authentic, slow-smoked barbecue to Louisiana. This exciting venture joins two family-led, third-generation companies united by values of quality, service, and community impact. Together, Dickey’s and Gaubert Oil through its wholly owned subsidiary Go-Bears will bring Dickey’s signature Legit. Texas. Barbecue.™ to three new Louisiana locations, enriching the local food scene and offering families a new place to enjoy genuine barbecue. 

The partnership is about more than expansion—it’s about shared values and a legacy of serving communities. Grady Gaubert, President and CEO of Gaubert Oil, has dedicated his career to continuing the family values of honesty, quality, and community service his father and grandfather instilled. Headquartered in Thibodaux, Gaubert Oil has served Louisiana’s Gulf South with high-quality oil, gas, and lubricant products. Now, through his partnership with Dickey’s, Go-Bears is adding legendary Texas barbecue to his family’s commitment to the Gulf South, making it a destination for families, travelers, and locals alike. 

“For years, I’ve explored various franchise options, and when I found Dickey’s Barbecue, it was an obvious choice—a real homerun for our community,” says Grady Gaubert. “The Dickey’s experience of quality and authenticity perfectly aligns with our values. The food is incredible, my team is excited, and we’re thrilled to introduce Texas-style barbecue to our customers.” 

The first Dickey’s Barbecue Pit location under this partnership will open at a prominent I-49 truck stop in Grand Coteau, followed by a second location in Thibodaux at an existing Go-Bears convenience store. Both sites will offer Dickey’s beloved classics, from tender brisket to fall-off-the-bone ribs and signature sides, all slow-smoked daily on-site. 

Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Capital Group, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “We’re proud to team up with Grady and Gaubert Oil, a family business that shares our dedication to quality and community. Grady’s strong connection with his community and commitment to service make him the perfect partner to bring Dickey’s to Louisiana. We’re excited to expand our reach in the Gulf South and create new barbecue memories for Louisiana families.” 

Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc., added, “Dickey’s Barbecue has always been about bringing people together around authentic flavors and great hospitality. Our partnership with Gaubert Oil allows us to expand our family-driven mission with a trusted name in Louisiana, and we’re thrilled to see this next chapter unfold.” 

With their shared commitment to tradition, quality, and service, Dickey’s Barbecue and Go-Bears are more than just business partners—they are two family enterprises working to enrich their communities and honor a legacy of integrity and customer satisfaction. Together, they will bring the best of Texas barbecue to Louisiana, inviting locals to savor Dickey’s legendary slow-smoked flavors and experience the warm hospitality both companies are known for.

Gaubert Oil and Dickey’s Bring Authentic Texas BBQ to Louisiana

[Dickey's Franchise](https://franchise.dickeys.com/), the world’s largest barbecue concept, is excited to announce a development deal with Hayder Smokey Barbecue, bringing Legit. Texas. Barbecue.™ to Ontario, Canada. This partnership, led by Ibrahim Daniyal, President of Hayder Smokey Barbecue, along with Shyan Hayder, Shahrez Hayder, Jibreel Adnan, and Hamza Hayder marks a significant expansion for Dickey’s into the Canadian market with plans for multiple locations.

Ibrahim Daniyal is the embodiment of the "Canadian Dream." Immigrating to Canada from Pakistan in 2001 with his wife and two children, Ibrahim arrived with less than $200 in his pocket. Despite the immense challenges, he worked tirelessly to support his family by studying during the day and working odd jobs at night, including driving a taxi and working for free at financial institutions through a co-op program. His wife, Samina, helped by opening a beauty salon as a street vendor in downtown Toronto.

Now, alongside his sons Shyan and Shahrez Hayder, his brother Jibreel Adnan and nephew Hamza Hayder, Ibrahim is set to increase Dickey’s Barbecue Pit deeper into Ontario and also with locations planned across major cities such as Ottawa, Kingston, London, St. Thomas, Chatham, and Windsor.

"Canada is a mosaic of more than 450 cultures and over 200 languages," Ibrahim explained. "Our cuisine reflects this diversity, and I want to introduce Canadians to Dickey’s Texas-style barbecue, including halal options, that resonates with local and global flavors."

The partnership’s primary focus is to introduce Dickeys franchise barbecue concept in a way that honors the local culture while upholding the traditions that make Dickey’s beloved. "The way Dickey’s prepares its barbecue is hygienic, respectful of tradition, and embodies family values. That’s what inspired me," said Ibrahim. "It’s about introducing a new, exciting flavor to the Canadian palate while ensuring we remain true to our cultural values."

This expansion is poised to fill a gap in Ontario’s fast-casual dining scene. "There’s a need for organized, franchised food concepts in cities like Ottawa and Windsor," Ibrahim said. "Dickey’s brings the legitimacy of a Texas-born brand that Canadians are already excited about. We plan to grow rapidly over the next decade, creating a family-oriented, inclusive dining experience that Canadians from all backgrounds can enjoy."

The Hayder Smokey Barbecue team each bring unique expertise to the family’s business operation. Shyan’s experience in organization and customer service, along with Shahrez, Jibreel and Hamza’s management and real estate backgrounds, make this a powerful family-run operation. "We have structured our management team in a way that maximizes each member's expertise, ensuring that our customers always come first and that we uphold the values of integrity and excellence," Ibrahim said.

Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc., expressed her excitement about the partnership. "The Hayder family brings such an inspiring story and deep commitment to both business and community. We’re thrilled to welcome them to the Dickey’s family and can’t wait to see their success in Ontario." Adding his thoughts, [Roland Dickey Jr](https://www.offthemrkt.com/lifestyle/power-couple-roland-dickey-jr-and-laura-rea-dickey-leading-dickeys-barbecue-pit-franchise-to-new-heights)., CEO of Dickey’s Capital Group, shared, "Expanding more into Ontario is a major milestone for us. Ibrahim, Shyan, Shahrez, and Jibreel are the perfect partners to help us bring authentic Texas barbecue to Canada. Their family’s story of hard work, perseverance, and success aligns with our core values, and we believe this partnership is just the beginning of something great."

The development deal is expected to bring 32 Dickey’s Barbecue Pit locations to Ontario, establishing the brand as a leader in the province's diverse and rapidly growing food scene.
