Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Gears Up For National Barbecue Month 

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit – the world’s largest barbecue franchise – executed a new development agreement earlier this week, marking the 100th new store in the pipeline for the family-owned brand.
The concept known for serving authentic, Texas-style barbecue is expanding to new territories all over the U.S. including Detroit, Gainesville, Florida; Oahu, Hawaii; Playa Del Rey, California; South Bend, Indiana; Worcester, Massachusetts; and Williamsburg, Virginia.&nbsp;

“Resilient brands, like ours, always take challenging times as an opportunity to reinvest, renew and emerge stronger than before,” said <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/company/meet-our-team">Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc.</a> “We’re proud to have so many new folks join our family who see the actions we’re taking in local communities and want to be a part of our mission to give back.”
