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,

health and wellness of its guests nationwide, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit has
announced that all meats sold in every location will contain “No B.S.” (Bad
Stuff) by sourcing only responsibly raised, quality meats. Starting August 15, all
chicken sold will now be raised without antibiotics. This breakthrough in
sustainability not only comprises the brand’s traditional slow smoked chicken
breast, but also will include whole smoked chickens and chicken nuggets served
in kids’ meals at select stores. To learn more, click <a aria-label="To learn more, click here" href="https://www.dickeys.com/no-bs">here</a>.The chicken is

products are free from added hormones, nitrates, nitrites and artificial
coloring and flavors.<o:p></o:p>In the past
year Dickey’s has prioritized sustainability system-wide, leading the Fast
Casual industry by initiating eco-friendly practices while ensuring the highest

conscience - specifically greater sustainability and responsibly-sourced
products,” says Tamala Fowler, Vice President of Purchasing and R&amp;D at

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Opens New Location in San Antonio

The four-store development agreement will double Dickey’s presence in the state


                


 (Portland, OR) Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is doubling its footprint in Oregon with a recently executed four-store development agreement. The Beaver State currently boasts four Dickey’s locations.
 Owner/Operator Todd Saperstein owns two of those locations and plans to open one store per year for the next four years, possibly adding more locations in the future.


 Todd Saperstein began his career in the mortgage industry, but decided to change his career path to franchise ownership when the industry took a downturn. After researching franchise concepts, he
 chose Dickey’s because of the rapid growth nationwide and support from the home office. He opened his first Dickey’s location in September 2014 and his second followed in July 2015. He is
 considering locations in and around the Portland area. A native Oregonian, Saperstein says, “I am proud to bring the Dickey’s brand to Oregon, and have gotten excellent feedback from my loyal
 guests. I look forward to bringing Texas-style, slow-smoked barbecue to new regions of our great state.”


 Saperstein says that there is a growing demand for authentic, Texas-style barbecue. The Portland community has wholeheartedly embraced Dickey’s quality meats which are slow-smoked in every
 location, every day.                             



 “Dickey’s is growing rapidly throughout the Pacific Northwest,” says Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We congratulate Todd Saperstein on doubling our brand presence
 in Oregon.”

WHY:
Since 1941, the Dickey family has taken pride in serving slow-smoked barbecue in their local communities. Today, the Dickey family and its family of restaurants take pride in serving those who serve our communities, local police and firefighters.
 

This evolution in community involvement and civic stewardship is Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges. The foundation, enthusiastically led by Chairman and former Dallas Commissioner Maurine Dickey, supports local law enforcement, firefighters and their families. The foundation is national, yet the support is intensely local — benefiting law enforcement and firefighters who put their lives on the line every day, serving the public. This is a way for Dickey’s Barbecue Pit to serve in return.
 

Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges also creates partnerships between law enforcement and communities that are crucial in orchestrating crime reduction programs and initiatives.

Fundraiser at 17 DFW Dickey's Locations to Support Injured Officer

The new store model features sustainable elements and a streamlined menu


  


 (Erie, PA) After debuting a new store concept in October 2015 located in the
 barbecue brand’s hometown of Dallas, TX, the first Dickey’s Barbecue Pit location to undertake the new concept will open April 7 in Erie, PA. The new store will offer eight meats and eight sides,
 available in customizable portions that allow each guest to decide how much and how many slow-smoked meats they want to try. Guests will be able to see the full barbecue process on display from the
 glass butcher-style case displaying all the fresh meats to the smoker, located just behind the chopping block, in the open kitchen floorplan.


 The new store design features a holistic sensory
 experience, from décor made largely of sustainably-sourced, reclaimed wood to the hand-crafted design elements highlighting Dickey’s history on the walls paired with a specially curated
 singer/songwriter playlist heard from a Bose surround sound speaker system.


 Dickey’s has made great strides in sustainability with
 the new store model, which also includes recyclable and compostable takeout containers made of 100 percent sugarcane. All other paper products are made with post-consumer recycled fiber. The new
 store, which slow smokes all its meats in-house as all Dickey’s locations do, will now use Dickey’s proprietary wood-blend pellets that consume 80 percent less wood and are made from a blend of
 hickory, cherry and other flavorful woods.


 To celebrate the new store’s grand opening, three guests
 will win free barbecue for a year at the new Erie location. Guests can enter to win using hashtag #1FreeYearofBBQ on any social media page, order <a href="https://dickeys.com/">online</a>
 or sign up for the <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/promos">Big Yellow Cup
 Club</a> to receive special offers and loyalty points which can be redeemed for
 free barbecue.


 Doors open on Thirsty Thursday, when all guests will
 receive a free Big Yellow Cup with Dickey’s new reusable travel lid and straw. On Philanthropy Friday, all proceeds from Dickey’s signature potato chip sales will benefit Dickey’s charitable
 foundation, Barbecue Boots &amp; Badges, which supports first responders and their families. Musician xx will play from 6:00 –
 8:00 p.m. on Friday. Kids eat free on Sunday as always!

 partner our family business with the McBrier family to serve authentic, Texas-style barbecue.”

 Arizona State University followed by her CPA license before embarking on her career as an entrepreneur. Her brother Chad is currently attending college at Embry Riddle University and plans to join
 the family business as a co-owner. “We are excited to meet our fellow franchisees and grow with the Dickey’s brand,” Oder says. “We knew as soon as we first tried the food that we wanted to invest
 in Dickey’s. We are excited to serve high-quality, Texas-style barbecue to our home state while being a part of an energetic, growing brand.”


                                


 “We look forward to continuing to expand our brand presence throughout Arizona,” says Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “This development agreement will double our
