MT MORRIS, PA (August 17, 2020) – Pennsylvania Army National Guard Veterans and husband and wife duo Joe and Cynthia Yorio, plan to convert their Mount Morris, PA pub to a Dickey’s Barbecue Pit and serve authentic, Texas-style barbecue while keeping wine, beer and spirits on the menu.
In the 1970’s, Joe and Cynthia moved to the Mount Morris community where they still reside and raised their two children, Aaron and Ashley. The pair opened their Pittsburgh Steelers themed O'Reilly's Pub in 1992 and are looking to expand and enhance their menu offerings with their latest Dickey’s investment.
“We love our town and getting to know everyone in the community and look forward to giving our neighbors an updated family-friendly space to hang out and watch sports, while eating delicious, competition-style barbecue,” said Cynthia Yorio, Owner Operator of O’Reilly’s Pub located on 229 Mt. Morris Road.
“Dickey’s believes great barbecue and good time gatherings go hand in hand and we’re excited Cynthia Yorio and her husband are combining Dickey’s slow-smoked meats and southern favorites with their beloved drink offerings to serve to the Mount Morris community,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc.
The Dickey’s Barbecue Pit coming soon to 229 Mt. Morris Road will feature recipes passed down by generations including a variety of slow-smoked meats and savory sides that can be enjoyed in-store, at home or at the next big event.
