Dickey’s Barbecue Pit will open new location on Oahu <o:p></o:p>

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

(Oahu, HI) <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/">Dickey’s Barbecue Pit</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; has executed
a franchise agreement for a new location on Oahu. This is the second agreement
for Dickey’s in Hawaii, but the first for Oahu. <o:p></o:p>

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

Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit is a 75-year-old, family owned and operated business with
locations in 44 states. “At Dickey’s, we take the family to family to family
approach,” says Dickey’s CEO Laura Rea Dickey. “The Dickey family partners with
other entrepreneurial families to serve barbecue to families across the nation.
We appreciate our hard working Owner/Operators and their families who make that
possible every day.”<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

A native of
Hawaii, Danny Mabalot, Jr. has partnered with Dickey’s to open the new Oahu
location within the next year. Mabalot got his start in the franchise business
with four Subway locations owned by his family, which were opened by his
father. Ten years ago he took over the business and is now expanding the family
portfolio with Dickey’s. “We hope to continue the family business with Dickey’s
and pass it down to the next generation just like my father did for my brother
and me,” Mabalot says. “When I researched other franchise concepts, Dickey’s
stuck out as better and different. I look forward to serving delicious barbecue
to my community in Oahu.”<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

At Dickey’s,
all meats are <a href="https://www.smokedonsite.com/">smoked
onsite</a> daily for 12-14 hours using real hickory wood combined with passion for
the art of barbecue. <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.

&nbsp;
“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>.

About Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges

"Invest in a Vest" Launches to Protect Police Officers in 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>

Dickey's Barbecue Pit Sausages Now Available in Texas Kroger Stores

Two new Dickey’s Barbecue Pit locations come to Ann Arbor<hr>(Ann Arbor,
MI) William Kaufman plans to open a <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/">Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit</a> location on the University of Michigan campus. The student body
of the University of Michigan represents approximately 38 percent of the total
population of the city of Ann Arbor.<o:p></o:p>

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

Kaufman’s
newly signed development agreement of two Dickey’s locations will be carried out
with the first location opening in May 2017 at the Washtenaw Commons Retail
Center. Kaufman’s second location will open in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor
on the University of Michigan Campus. <o:p></o:p>

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

“We're
excited William Kaufman&nbsp;is
joining the Dickey family and bringing barbecue to the campus,” says Laura Rea
Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We think William is right
when he says Michigan students will love our real pit smoked barbecue."<o:p></o:p>

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

Born and
raised in Ann Arbor, Kaufman grew up visiting family in Texas where he fell in
love with Texas-style barbecue, and Dickey’s in particular. “I grew up eating
Dickey’s and I am excited to bring the residents of Ann Arbor their own little
bit of Texas-style barbecue,” says Kaufman. “I am most looking forward to
opening our campus location to win the hearts of the students of the University
of Michigan.” <o:p></o:p>

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

Kaufman
enters into his new venture with Dickey’s Barbecue Pit with his wife, Rebecca
and they look forward to opening more stores in the future. <o:p></o:p>

Kids Eat Free on Valentine’s Day at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

The new location is slated to open in Tampa, FL in late 2017
(Tampa, FL)Dickey's Barbecue Pit is continuing its expansion throughout the state of Florida with a well-known member of the Tampa community, Demar Dotson. Currently a professional football player with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dotson will open his Dickey’s Barbecue Pit location in in the Tampa area in late 2017.
&nbsp;
Along with his passion for football, Dotson has always had a passion for slow-smoked barbecue. Upon deciding to open his own franchise, Dotson determined Dickey’s was the perfect fit for him. “I wanted to open a restaurant where I could fulfill my passion while also feeding my community pit-smoked barbecue,” says Dotson.
&nbsp;
After opening his initial location in Tampa, Dotson plans to open more locations throughout the southern states, primarily in his home state of Louisiana. In his retirement, Dotson plans to run the day-to-day operations of his stores and be the face of his community’s Dickey’s Barbecue Pit.
&nbsp;
“Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is proud to have Demar Dotson join our family and open his first Dickey’s location in Florida,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “Dickey’s is rapidly expanding nationwide and we are constantly looking for new Owner/Operators such as Dotson who have a passion for delicious, pit-smoked barbecue.”
