Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Announces Summer Savings with Barbecoupons

(Dallas, TX)-- California boasts the most Dickey’s Barbecue Pit locations aside from the brand’s home state of Texas, thanks in part to dedicated Owner/Operators like Michael and Margarita Tucker. After being inspired by the success of their first location in La Quinta, the Tuckers have opened 4 additional locations in just the last year and a half and plan on opening 23 more across California. With upcoming openings on the San Diego State campus and in Rialto in the near future, they are constantly looking for prime new locations to further expand and spread the passion for the art of great barbecue.
&nbsp;
“Dickey’s occupies a really unique niche in the market and is a pioneer in the fast casual barbecue industry,” said Michael. “My wife and I are excited to grow even more with this great brand and continue bringing delicious barbecue to families across California.”
&nbsp;
The Tuckers are long-term entrepreneurs and have been in the franchising industry for 17 years. Michael had always wanted to be in the food business with a franchise and was intrigued by Dickey’s smoked-on-site concept. After the couple had lunch at Dickey’s and tasted the pit-smoked, Texas-style barbecue for themselves, they were sold.
&nbsp;
“We are proud to have passionate Owner/Operators like Michael and Margarita as part of the Dickey’s family,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “Dickey’s now has nearly 600 locations in 44 states, and our rapid growth would not have been possible without the support of our Owner/Operators.”

California Entrepreneur Keeps Coming Back for More Texas-Style Barbecue

(Dahlgren, VA)-- Roger Wright began his journey with Dickey’s Barbecue Pit a year ago, investing in his first location with his cousin, James Wright in Alexandria, Virginia. With such success in this first location, he is now finalizing the details of his own location in Dahlgren, Virginia. This first-time business owner was inspired to join Dickey’s after having his first taste of the Texas-style barbecue.
&nbsp;
“Two years ago I ate at Dickey’s for the first time, and I was sold immediately,” said Wright.&nbsp; “One of my favorite things about being a part of Dickey’s is making customers happy by serving them delicious, slow-smoked barbecue.”
&nbsp;
Roger Wright’s location in Dahlgren is on track to open by summer 2017. In the meantime, Virginians can get their pit-smoked barbecue fix at the Alexandria or Southpoint locations, both owned by his cousin, James Wright; or find their nearest Dickey’s Barbecue Pit location <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/locations">here</a>.
&nbsp;
“The Dickey’s family has enjoyed our relationship with Roger, first as an investor and now as an Owner,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. “We congratulate Roger on the upcoming opening of his own location and look forward to bringing more barbecue to Virginians.”

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Investor Opening his Own Location

(Dallas, TX) For 65 years,
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit has offered ease with Easter meats &amp; feasts. The
nation’s largest Barbecue chain started serving families 76 years ago, but
added traditional Easter meats and side items as an option ten years later,
when guests inquired about reserving whole meats for the holiday. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

This year Dickeys will offer
whole spiral-cut smoked hams, smoked Turkeys, and Cajun-fried turkeys and a new
addition, whole Prime Rib, along with complete meals. Guests can order online,
by phone or in-store to get their Easter ham and all the fixins’.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

The full Easter feast includes
Dickey’s signature Baked Potato Casserole, Green Beans with Bacon, Caesar
Salad, 12 buttery rolls and a gallon of tea; feeding 10 – 12 people and available
for $99.95. All essentials included so more time can be focused on family and
less time spent in the kitchen<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

“Our family started the Easter
meal options to help families reduce holiday preparation stress,” says Laura
Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “Each of our meats bring
to the table slow-smoked quality, that requires hours of preparation, however
ordering a complete feast ready to serve from Dickey's, helps the family host
avoid hours in their own kitchen and frees up&nbsp;time to spend with family. “<o:p></o:p>

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Opens March 2 in Easton

Dickey’s charitable foundation has partnered with Angel Armor to provide life-saving ballistic body armor
(Dallas, TX) According to the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the fatality risk for law enforcement officers in America is nearly four times greater than that of the average American worker. <a href="https://www.bbabfoundation.org/">Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges</a>, the charitable foundation founded by Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, aims to reduce that risk for police officers by providing life-saving bullet proof vests.
&nbsp;
Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges’ newest initiative is called “Invest in a Vest”. The foundation has partnered with <a href="https://www.officer.com/company/12026155/angel-armor-a-smal-beginnings-company">Angel Armor</a> to provide life-saving ballistic body armor for police officers. A donation of $500 buys a set of ballistic plates which protect the wearer from sniper rounds and high-powered ammunition. The foundation will donate ballistic plates to Dallas Police Department’s entire gang unit to launch the ‘Invest in a Vest’ program on Tuesday, February 28. &nbsp;Ballistic vests have saved the lives of at least 3,000 law enforcement officers and increased survival rates from gunshots to the torso by 14 percent. “The risk of dying from a gunshot wound to the torso is 3.4 times higher for law enforcement officers who do not wear armor vests,” cites Nathan James, Analyst in Crime Policy for the Congressional Research Service.

“Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges aims to serve those who protect us,” says Commissioner Maurine Dickey, the founder and spokesperson of Dickey’s foundation. “Our first responders put their lives on the line for us every day, and we hope to provide this state of the art equipment to make their jobs safer.”

Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. also has launched a donation matching program for in-store fundraisers. To learn more about the matching program, click <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/promos#bbab">here</a>.

Barbecue, Boots & Badges Launches ‘Invest in a Vest’ To Protect Police Officers in the Line of Duty

New Owner/Operator will bring Dickey’s to
Snellville in Spring 2018<hr>(Snellville, GA) <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/">Dickey’s Barbecue Pit</a> is slated to open a new location in the Peach State in Spring of 2018
with Dickey’s newest Owner/Operator, Sanchez Smith. The new location will be
the twelfth Dickey’s store to open in the state.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

Originally from South Carolina, Smith
recently made the state of Georgia his home and to immerse himself into his new
community he decided to open his own restaurant. Smith has a passion for
delicious, slow-smoked barbecue and when looking for franchising opportunities
fell in love with Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. &nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

“The Dickey’s Barbecue Pit family is thrilled
to have Sanchez Smith join our team,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s
Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “To enhance their passion for barbecue, we have each
new Owner/Operator attend Barbecue University to learn how to perfectly smoke our
meats ensuring all locations have the same authentic Dickey’s Barbecue Pit
flavor. I am sure that Smith’s passion for barbecue and South Carolina roots
will only heighten his Barbecue University experience.” <o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

New to the
restaurant industry, Smith was drawn to Dickey’s not only for the pit-smoked
barbecue, but the rich history that surrounds Dickey’s and the support the Home
Office offers its Owner/Operators. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

Smith will
soon graduate from Barbecue University after learning how to perfect the art of
great barbecue. Barbecue University is a four-week course hosted in Dallas that
all new Owner/Operators are required to attend. Throughout the four weeks,
Owner/Operators learn how to prepare and smoke all of Dickey’s delicious meats;
they also learn best Community Marketing practices and managerial training to
ensure each Owner/Operator is successful in training their Pit Crew. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

“I am
excited to become a part of the Dickey’s Barbecue Pit family and look forward
to learning alongside fellow Owner/Operators,” says Smith. “My community is in
need of a delicious barbecue option and I am happy to provide that to them with
Dickey’s slow-smoked barbecue.” <o:p></o:p>
