Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Opens in Brighton with Prizes and Specials

The new Dickey’s locations will be bringing slow-smoked, Texas-style barbecue beginning in early 2017
(Colorado Springs, CO) Dickey’s Barbecue Pit continues to expand through the state of Colorado by adding two new locations in Colorado Springs owned and operated by veteran franchisee Bob Rusnak. The first of the two locations is slated to open in early 2017.
&nbsp;
“The Dickey family congratulates Bob Rusnak on his two-store development agreement,” says Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “The first Dickey’s franchise outside of Texas open in Colorado in 1998, and we are proud to continue expanding throughout the state.”
&nbsp;
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is nothing new to Owner/Operator Bob Rusnak, as these new stores will be his fourth and fifth to open in Colorado. As a retired Air Force officer, Rusnak decided it was time to forge a new path by opening his own business. He opened his first three stores with his wife, Barbara Rusnak, who is also an Air Force veteran. “Our three existing stores have been so successful in Colorado Springs,” says Bob Rusnak. “We are very excited to bring two new locations to our community and give the residents more access to delicious, slow-smoked barbecue.”
&nbsp;
The Rusnaks’ new stores will be a family business endeavor, as they are now bringing their son into the equation. Family is the most important thing to the Rusnaks, and they look forward to expanding their family business.

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Expands in Texas with New Odessa Location

New Dickey’s locations are slated to open in Foothill Ranch, Irvine and Mission Viejo
(Foothill Ranch, CA) Dickey’s Barbecue Pit continues to grow throughout California, with an increased store count that is second only behind its home state of Texas. The first of four new stores will open in Spring 2017 in Foothill Ranch. Two in Irvine and one in Mission Viejo are to follow. The four new locations are included in a development agreement between Dickey’s and new franchisee Scott Cole.
&nbsp;
“We congratulate Scott Cole on his four-store development agreement,” says Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. “We are growing rapidly in California, and we are very proud to continue opening new locations to serve Texas-style barbecue to the people of California.”
&nbsp;
Scott Cole has called Orange County home his entire life. While spending the beginning of his professional career in business development, he decided it was time to have a business of his own. Born and raised in California, the people, food and culture of the Golden State is nothing new to him so when it came time to start a business he knew that the restaurant industry was the way to go. Cole, along with his wife Susan were eager to start out on a new adventure by opening their own franchise together. After doing extensive research, the Cole’s found a home with Dickey’s Barbecue. “I researched a variety of brands and chose Dickey’s because I just love the food,” says Cole. “Now I look forward to becoming a part of the Dickey’s family and serving great barbecue to my community.”
&nbsp;
Among his love for Dickey’s authentic slow-smoked Texas barbecue, Cole saw that there was a void in the market for a fast casual barbecue restaurant. “In Texas, there is a barbecue place on every corner, and we just don’t have that here,” says Cole.

For
the Dubin family, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is a family business. The Pahrump
location is the first of eight stores which will open in Nevada and Southern
California, and the entire Dubin family will be a part of each store’s
operations. The fact that the barbecue brand is still owned and operated by its
founding family was a big part of Doug Dubin’s decision to start franchising. “We
are excited to provide career opportunities for our family and other families,”
Dubin says. “We look forward to serving authentic Texas barbecue to our
community in Pahrump and future locations.” Dubin’s next Dickey’s location will
open in the Las Vegas area by mid-2017, with at least two more stores to open
in and around the Las Vegas Valley and four in Southern California. The new
Dickey’s location will also hold fundraisers for CASA (Court Appointed Special
Advocates) and American Cancer Society during their four-week opening
celebration.<o:p></o:p>

of Pahrump can find their newest Dickey’s at 240 Highway 160, Unit 17, Pahrump,
