Dickey's Barbecue Pit franchisees plan to bring the chain's Texas-style barbecue to their town of Rolla, Missouri, a news release said. This franchising trio consists of Debby and Lawrence West and their business partner, Debbie Hudson.

"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," said CEO Laura Rea Dickey.

After moving from Brazil to the United States, Debby West found a home in Rolla with her husband, Lawrence. 

"Our community is in need of a place for families to come together for dinner on a Sunday night," Debby West, said in the release. "Rolla is growing every day and we believe that Dickey's will not only help that growth but also offer a delicious barbecue option for people of the community."
