Dickey’s Names New CMO, Inks Deal For Southeast

<div>
  From <a href="http://frontburner.dmagazine.com/2015/11/12/dickeys-barbecue-eyeing-2016-growth-in-japan-south-korea-philippines/" target="_blank">D Magazine</a>

</div>
<div>
  Dickey’s Barbecue CEO Roland Dickey Jr., who’s grown the nation’s biggest barbecue restaurant from 20 stores to 538, is cooking up plans to expand next year into Asia. After opening a projected 72
  stores in 2015, the third-generation restaurateur has set his sights on Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, where he says there’s “absolutely” an appetite for the barbecue fare his grandfather
  began selling in Dallas in 1941.
</div>
<div>
  <br>
</div>
<div>
  “If we don’t get it going, somebody else will,” Dickey said of the international move during an interview Wednesday in Palm Springs, California.
</div>
<div>
  <br>
</div>
<div>
  Dickey is one of about 75 business people from Dallas attending the EY Strategic Growth Forum in Palm Springs this week. In June, the 41-year-old was named the EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2015 in
  the “family business” category for the Southwest Area North region. National winners of the competition will be announced at an EY awards banquet at the Strategic Growth Forum on Saturday.
</div>
<div>
  <br>
</div>
<div>
  In the interview, Dickey said his Dallas-based company is the nation’s largest fast-casual barbecue chain by far, with franchisees running all but seven of its 538 restaurants in 43 states. Revenue
  is projected to hit $502 million this year, up from $428 million last year, he said.
</div>
<div>
  <br>
</div>
<div>
  The company relies on “energy, speed, and great barbecue” in its operations—”that’s the gasoline in your tank,” he said—and spends much of its time recruiting and retaining the right employees.
  “I’d rather be short-handed than bad-handed,” Dickey said.
</div>
<div>
  <br>
</div>
<div>
  The biggest challenge in a “very dynamic industry” is constantly improving the company’s systems, he said. “We’ve said, let’s continually find new things to do. So we’ve overhauled our training
  systems, added technology, improved our cooking methods. … Now we’re focused on taking our business and making it great.”

  Dickey's Barbecue Pit Secures Whole-roasted and Cajun-fried Turkeys for Thanksgiving Despite Nationwide ShortageDickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. is vigorously preparing for Thanksgiving, so you
  don’t have to. Last year, according to the National Restaurant Association, over 33 million Americans relied on restaurants for at least a part of their Thanksgiving meal. Dickey’s sold 400,000
  pounds of holiday turkeys and hams nationwide in 2014 and that number is projected to increase by more than 20% this year.
</div>
<div>
  <br>
</div>
<div>
  With the recent bird flu outbreak, many Americans have supply concerns when it comes to their holiday turkey. Some chains have even pulled turkey from their menus nationwide due to the shortage
  leading to increased costs. The national barbecue chain worked to secure its holiday supply early, prior to the shortage, which is just another way Dickey’s prepares for the holiday season so you
  don’t have to. Guests can rely on Dickey’s Barbecue Pit to provide holiday meats and complete feasts for an affordable and delicious holiday celebration.
</div>
<div>
  <br>
</div>
<div>
  Dickey’s makes it easy to host a hassle-free holiday gathering through easy and convenient online ordering. Cajun fried and smoked turkeys, barbecue honey hams and full holiday feasts are available
  through Dickey’s online ordering option until the day before Thanksgiving. The full holiday feast includes traditional cornbread dressing and gravy, baked potato casserole, green beans with bacon
  and Dickey’s signature buttery rolls. The holiday feast feeds 10 – 12 people and is sure to be a hit for any Thanksgiving get-together. Guests who are registered for the company’s loyalty program,
  the Big Yellow Cup Club, will receive special holiday discounts.
</div>
<div>
  <br>
</div>
<div>
  “We are proud to serve quality holiday feasts to our guests who love Dickey’s signature slow-smoked meats and homestyle sides,” said Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc.
  “With the recent concern over the national turkey supply, Dickey’s has worked to ensure plenty of quality holiday meats for our guests’ celebrations. We’re prepared for the holiday season and look
