Dickey’s Fires Up the Pit in Cary, NC 

(Soddy Daisy, TN) Local Tennessee couple brings
Dickey’s slow-smoked, Texas-style barbecue to Soddy Daisy in Spring 2018. The
new location will be opened by new <a href="http://www.dickeys.com/">Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit</a> owners Mark and Donna Oldham. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

“Dickey’s Barbecue Pit has been family owned and operated since 1941
and we consider each of our owners as a part of our family,” said Laura Rea
Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We are always proud when passionate
franchisees such as Mark and Donna Oldham decide to invest in Dickey’s and help
us further our brand.” <o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

Originally from Tennessee, the Oldhams are not new to creating a
business to serve their community. Though Dickey’s will be their first
restaurant venture, the Oldhams are owners of a chicken farm in their home
state. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

The couple knew they wanted to get into the restaurant business and
after trying Dickey’s and researching the Dickey’s franchisee program, they
knew it was a perfect fit. “Immediately after we tried Dickey’s barbecue, we
knew this was the concept we needed to buy into,” says Mark Oldham. “We look
forward to bringing Dickey’s to our community and having a new business for our
family to run together.”<o:p></o:p>
