Traverse City Record: Dickey's Barbecue Pit to open TC location

<a href="http://www.grbj.com/articles/86075-barbecue-chain-plans-locations" target="_blank">Grand Rapids Business Journal</a> posted this about new locations opening in Michigan!&nbsp;<hr id="[object Object]">A barbecue chain is planning to open three locations in the area. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit said yesterday that it plans to open four new locations in Michigan, including three in Kent County and one in Traverse City. The locations will be owned by franchisees Andre Bushell and Loren Akerman. Bushell and Akerman recently signed a four-store development agreement with Dickey’s, said Roland Dickey Jr., CEO, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. The Traverse City location is expected to open next May, with the Kent County locations to follow. The partners also expect to eventually open other locations. Bushell and Akerman met while working in leadership positions at a Fortune 15 company, and they wanted to partner to bring a new restaurant concept to the area. The pair hopes to provide local jobs for a diverse group of employees, Akerman said. "We hope that our business can provide much-needed jobs and economic stability all over Michigan and beyond and are working intentionally to promote diversity in our business model,” Akerman said. Dickey’s Dickey’s Barbecue Pit was founded in 1941 by Travis Dickey and has grown to more than 560 locations in 43 states.

The Ticker: BBQ Chain Coming To Traverse City

The <a href="http://www.thebrightonblade.com/content/new-restaurants-shops-around-town" target="_blank">Brighton Standard Blade</a> posted this about the new store coming to Brighton, Colorado!&nbsp;<hr id="[object Object]">Dickey’s Barbecue Pit planned for Buffs LandingOfficials at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit want to open a restaurant in Buffs Landing in the Brighton East Farms neighborhood near 42nd Avenue and East Bridge Street. Officials at the Dallas, Texas,-based restaurant have submitted plans for a building permit. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is a fast-casual restaurant chain that serves up barbecue classics like beef brisket, pulled pork, pork ribs and chicken. It also serves up home-style sides such as potato salad, cabbage slaw, mac and cheese, green beans with bacon and jalapeno baked beans. Cannery Lofts could expand Developers of the planned $18 million Cannery Lofts apartment project now want to build a seven-story building just east of 224 North Main St., according to Marv Falconburg, assistant city manager for development. Five upper floors would be for 99 “loft” apartments, and the two first floors would be for parking in the new plan. Developer representative Gary Hassenflu did not immediately return a request for comment about the expansion.&nbsp; About 5,000 square feet of the existing vacant “Duffy” building is planned to be transformed into a restaurant or brew pub, according to Holly Prather, community development director. The building once was a cannery and later housed German prisoners of war during World War II. Developers received $599,700 in historic tax credits to rehabilitate the “Duffy” building, after it was designated a national historic building in March, Hassenflu said at the time. In May, development company Garrison Development Co. in Kansas City, Missouri, presented a plan for a four-story building behind the vacant “Duffy” building. Hassenflu said each unit would have high ceilings and insulated windows to help minimize train noise. Rents are expected to range from $1,300 to $2,200 per month. Ulta Beauty developer eyes Prairie Center&nbsp;Ulta Beauty could be the next retail store to pop up in the Prairie Center shopping center. Brighton community development staffers are scheduled to meet with representatives from the Denver office of THF Realty this week to discuss building a 10,000-square-foot store next to the existing Ross Dress for Less store, City Manager Manuel Esquibel said in a Sept. 2 memo to city council. The beauty retailer sells beauty products, cosmetics, fragrances and salon services. &nbsp;Each retail store also has a salon. Gas station coming to east side A new Kum &amp; Go gas station and convenience store is planned near Interstate 76 and Bromley Lane, according to Holly Prather, the city’s community development director.First, developers need to get city council member approval, since the property currently is zoned for an industrial business park, Prather said. The gas station would be about 6,800 square feet and would employ 16 to 18 people, with three to five people working each shift, Prather said. Pending council’s approval, it would be the third Kum &amp; Go location in Brighton. The other stores are located at 2150 E. Bridge St. and 70 W. Bridge St. near U.S. Highway 85.&nbsp;

<a href="http://patch.com/california/lagunaniguel-danapoint/laguna-niguel-latest-location-dickys-barbecue" target="_blank">Laguna Niguel Patch</a> posted this about the new store opening!&nbsp;<hr id="[object Object]">&nbsp;LAGUNA NIGUEL, CA — Two Dickey's Barbecue Pit locations in the Orange County area will reopen their doors under new ownership this month as they welcome back both longtime and new guests.

Fox 4 News: Battle of the Pitmasters

Posted by <a href="https://centraltrack.com/Food/9590/The-Spread/John-Tesars-Got-New-Beef-Dickeys-Enters-The-Taco-Fray-and-Elbow-Room-Digs-In" target="_blank">The Spread</a>.<hr id="[object Object]">Welcome to The Spread, our weekly feature that aims to share all the area restaurant, food and beverage industry news that's fit to print. Except, this is the Internet, so space isn't a concern. Also: Good thing, because this is Dallas and this town always has breaking restaurant news going down like whoa. This week, noted fire starter John Tesar took to Twitter again, this time to level accusations toward a Chicago chef for ripping off one of his concepts. As Dallas Eater reports, the concept in question bears an uncanny resemblance to Tesar’s Knife venture -- down to the name, logo and a focus on dry-aged steaks. While Tesar was unable to trademark the name, he is still considering possible legal action. Also this week, Tesar's fellow Top Chef alum Tiffany Derry announced that she's opening a new concept in Trinity Groves. Called Roots Southern Table, the new spot will focus on southern fare and desserts, with the return of some popular favorites from her Private Social days. The restaurant is taking shape across from Off Site Kitchen, with no word yet on an official opening date. Out in Richardson meanwhile, Alamo Drafthouse is getting a Shark Tank-approved neighbor called Cinnaholic. The shop will be the second location in the region for the California-based venture, which specializes in custom and vegan-friendly cinnamon rolls. An opening is slated for next month. Speaking of new ventures, Dickey’s BBQ announced this week that it is putting tacos on the menu. SideDish reports that the ubiquitous barbecue chain will feature Buffalo &amp; Bleu Butcher tacos made with signature chicken, romaine lettuce, bleu cheese and buffalo drizzle. The tacos will be available throughout the month of September. Over in Uptown, on the other hand, Dolce Riviera is aiming to bring authentic Italian cuisine to the Hardwood District. The restaurant will feature a menu of classic Italian dishes and housemade pastas, with a theme reminiscent of the Italian and French Rivieras. The website is now currently accepting reservations. Close to Deep Ellum, Elbow Room is getting pretty sick of answering questions about a possible shutdown. This afternoon, the bar and restaurant posted the following to its Facebook page, in which it basically begs customers to stop bugging its staff for news related to the fact that an eminent domain claim might mean its location could turn into a Texas A&amp;M dental school sooner than later.Finally, in craft beer news, the Dallas Observer's Brewfest will take place this Friday, September 10. The sixth annual celebration is set to feature a selection of more than 400 beers from around the world, alongside local food vendors and live music. The event takes place from 7 to 10 p.m. Then, on Sunday, September 11, Pints &amp; Quarts is kicking off the Dallas Cowboys season with a “blue star” special, where fans can get $2 Lonestars during the game. No that's not craft beer-related. But it's a good deal!
