Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Cues Convenience with New Mobile App

(Mesa, AZ) Apache Junction, Gilbert, Mesa and Queen
Creek, AZ will be home to four new Dickey’s Barbecue Pit locations under the
ownership of current franchisee Sam Beydoun beginning late 2018. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

With an extensive background in the gas station
industry, Sam is eager to embark on a new adventure encompassing his love for
business and slow-smoked barbecue. His first Dickey’s location opened in late
December and is attached to an Arco Gas Station that he owns. The four Dickey’s
locations that are under development will differ from the first, following a
more traditional construction concept.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

“I was originally drawn to Dickey’s for their
passion and expertise of real, Texas barbecue as well as their clean,
contemporary concept,” says Sam. “I look forward to the opportunity of serving
the people in my community slow-smoked barbecue and making Dickey’s a staple in
my area.” Sam’s values align perfectly with that of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit by
putting the community first while always focusing on serving slow-smoked
barbecue. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

“At Dickey’s, our primary focus is to serve folks
authentic, Texas-style barbecue,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s
Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “With owners who are passionate about the art of
great barbecue, such as Sam, the Dickey’s brand will continue to grow and serve
barbecue lovers nationwide.” <o:p></o:p>
