Native Nebraskan Opens Fourth Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Lincoln

(Lincoln, NE) Will Carter grew up in nearby Hickman and knew Dickey’s Barbecue Pit would make a great addition to the area.

One lucky guest will win a $500 gift card and three guests will receive free barbecue for a year. Saturday, guests can stock up on their Dickey’s Barbecue gear when the newest location offers all merchandise giveaways.
