Local Barbecue Franchisee Opens New Dickey’s Location in Long Beach

(Boulder, CO) <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/">Dickey’s Barbecue Pit</a>
makes plans to bring a delicious new dining option to Boulder, CO in Spring
2018. The new location will be opened by barbecue fanatic and Dickey’s Barbecue
Pit franchisee, Brandon Gerrick. <o:p></o:p>

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

“We want to congratulate Brandon Gerrick on joining the Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit family,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue
Restaurants, Inc. “With experienced, passionate franchisees such as Brandon,
the Dickey’s brand will continue to grow and be successful.”<o:p></o:p>

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

Originally from Chicago, Gerrick recently moved to Colorado and
immediately noticed a void of delicious, Texas-style barbecue in Boulder. As he
has been in the restaurant industry for 18 years, Gerrick decided it was time
to open one of his own and found a home in Dickey’s after researching
franchising concepts.<o:p></o:p>

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

“Dickey’s is a great brand that has delicious food and a solid
franchising concept, which is why I chose to make Dickey’s my first business to
own,” says Gerrick. “Boulder was at the top of my list for where to put my
first Dickey’s location and when the territory was available I jumped at the
opportunity. I greatly look forward to opening up our store and serving the
residents of my new community.”<o:p></o:p>

Colorado Entrepreneur Brings Texas-Style Barbecue to Boulder

(Cleveland, TX) New <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/">Dickey’s Barbecue
Pit</a> franchisee plans to bring two Dickey’s locations to the Houston area
beginning Summer 2018. The locations will be opened by Dickey’s franchisee Nasruddin
Momin. <o:p></o:p>

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

“The Dickey’s family looks forward to the opening of Momin’s new

“Momin is passionate about the art of great barbecue and that is what makes the
Dickey’s brand continue to grow and be successful.”<o:p></o:p>

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

Though Momin is new to the Dickey’s team, the restaurant industry is
something that he is very familiar with as his family has owned a deli for the
past 15 years. When looking to branch out from his existing family business,
Momin began researching franchising concepts and found a home in Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit. “I chose to franchise with Dickey’s Barbecue Pit because the
barbecue is delicious and the concept is so simple,” says Momin. “I look
forward to opening these two locations in my community as I know that people in
this area will love Dickey’s slow-smoked barbecue.”<o:p></o:p>

Two Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Locations Launch in Houston

(Rolla, MO) New <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/">Dickey’s Barbecue Pit</a>
franchisees plan to bring slow-smoked, Texas-style barbecue to their town of
Rolla. This franchising trio consists of franchisees Debby and Lawrence West
with their business partner Debbie Hudson. <o:p></o:p>

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

This will be the group’s first Dickey’s Barbecue Pit location, with
hopes of expanding further in the future. <o:p></o:p>

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

“We are thrilled to have this new team join our Dickey’s Barbecue Pit
family,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc.
“Bringing new franchisees into the company is always exciting especially when
they come with a fiery passion for Texas-style barbecue and the intent to
further the Dickey’s brand.” <o:p></o:p>

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

After moving from Brazil to the United States, Debby West found a home
in Rolla with her husband, Lawrence West. After settling into her new home,
Debby West currently teaches Portuguese to their community while Lawrence West
works at their local KIA dealership. When the couple decided it was time to
make a change, franchising was the way to go and Dickey’s was the perfect
opportunity for them and their community. “Our community is in need of a place
for families to come together for dinner on a Sunday night,” says Debby West.
“Rolla is growing everday and we believe that Dickey’s will not only help that
growth but also offer a delicious barbecue option for people of the community.”

in Dickey’s. “For the last 10 years I have traveled for my job and saw new
Dickey’s locations pop up with lines out the door,” says Ron Burkett. “When it
came time to make a career change and stop traveling, we knew that opening our
own Dickey’s was the right choice for us. We cannot wait to serve the members
of our Lebanon community.” <o:p></o:p>

Dickey’s Fires Up the Pit at San Diego State University

(Ferris, TX) <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/">Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit</a> franchisee, Guy New, plans to open his third Dickey’s location
in his home state of Texas. The location is slated to open in Ferris, TX in
Spring 2018. The signing of his new location follows New’s successful opening
of his Mabank store, which opened in early September 2017. <o:p></o:p>

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

The opening of New’s Mabank location generated $3,000 of donations for
Dickey’s charitable foundation Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges. With the generous
donation matching of Roland Dickey, Jr. and Laura Rea Dickey, New brought in a
total of $6,000 that all went to hurricane relief efforts through Barbecue,
Boots &amp; Badges.<o:p></o:p>

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

“The dedication and generosity of Guy New and his team is something
that truly inspires all of us at Dickey’s,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of
Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We are proud to have franchisees such as
Guy that bring so much passion to the brand and we look forward to the opening
of his third location.” <o:p></o:p>

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

A native Texan, New is passionate about the art of great barbecue and
is proud to serve Dickey’s Texas-style barbecue to the residents of his
community. “I am looking forward to opening this location and potentially more
in the future,” says New. “Dickey’s is a vibrant brand with an amazing product
and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve my community.”&nbsp;&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>

Three Generations Bring Dickey’s Barbecue Pit to Placerville

(Kansas City, MO) <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/">Dickey’s Barbecue
Pit</a> Owner/Operator Ryan Wenrich ventured out from the typical Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit location and has set up shop at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium. <o:p></o:p>

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

Wenrich, a Kansas City football fan for as long as he can remember, was
thrilled when Arrowhead Stadium approached him about sharing Dickey’s
slow-smoked, Texas-style barbecue with patrons of their venue. His first
concession location opened during preseason and a second location will be
opening soon. <o:p></o:p>

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

“We are excited to have this opportunity at Arrowhead Stadium,” says
Wenrich. “Nothing goes better with football than delicious barbecue and we are
proud to offer this to the fans at Arrowhead stadium this season and hopefully
many seasons in the future.” <o:p></o:p>

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

The concession stand will offer Dickey’s delicious, slow-smoked
barbecue sandwiches, fall off the bone ribs, Frito Pie and crispy waffle fries.
Though Wenrich is the owner of these locations, they will be run by Pit Boss’
Kip McVey and Michael Meade. <o:p></o:p>

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

“At Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, we are proud to have franchisees like Ryan
Wenrich that take Dickey’s Barbecue Pit to a new level by being innovative in location
selection and embracing serving our traditional barbecue in a new way,” says
Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “It is ideas such
as these, that will continue Dickey’s growth now and in the future.”<o:p></o:p>

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Scores at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO 

(Houston, TX) A group of <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/">Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit</a> franchisees and crew members went above and beyond to support
Hurricane Harvey relief efforts in Houston. On average, the team has delivered
food to 5,000 Houstonians and 500 first responders each day.<o:p></o:p>

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

The team in Houston is comprised of Colorado franchisee David Montoya
and his manager Ukiah Ramirez. Montoya is currently planning to open additional
Dickey’s locations in his home state of New Mexico. Also on the team are father
and son duo Shaun and Gene Martin from North Texas. The team has set up shop
outside of an unfinished Houston Dickey’s Barbecue Pit location owned by
Amrinder Toor. <o:p></o:p>

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

“Seeing first-hand the destruction of these communities is incredibly
eye opening and has been an experience none of us will ever forget,” says
Montoya. “Bringing warm meals to those focused on rebuilding their communities
is something that I truly believe is lifting their spirits during this time of
recovery.”<o:p></o:p>

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

Starting out as a team of five, their operation grew when they arrived
in Houston with locals volunteering to help throughout the day. One of the most
prominent volunteers is Congresswoman Sheila Jackson, who assisted the team in
visiting and delivering food to the communities. <o:p></o:p>

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

“We are overwhelmed with the compassion and dedication these
franchisees have demonstrated through supporting our Houston neighbors in their
time of need,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants,
Inc. “It is times like these that make me even more proud to be a part of the
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit family.” <o:p></o:p>
