New Dickey's Barbecue Pit Location Opening in Prosper

(DALLAS)-- This Friday, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit’s charitable
foundation Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges will present local police officers with
50 life-saving, bulletproof vests as part of its Invest in a Vest initiative.
This donation is made possible by a generous contribution of $25,000 by Central
Market. <o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

The donation presentation will take place at the Central
Market Lovers Lane location on Friday, June 2 from 12-2pm. Although the event
is not open to the public, anyone interested in getting involved or supporting
Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges can visit <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.bbabfoundation.org_&amp;d=DwMFAg&amp;c=RI9dKKMRNVHr9NFa7OQiQw&amp;r=sk5USDwmUEE4ok_CrAuTRt65jcSsBoaW7LVVWFrnuCo&amp;m=erF0FDrixGPkaiwnxRzyWlfkcz0zdMgas9cK1jpXfxo&amp;s=c-DwIuWRY9QYhuD7I0STrJwR9Jujk6VrvjPvaYU6vqU&amp;e=">http://www.bbabfoundation.org/</a>.
<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

“Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges was founded to serve those
who put their lives on the line every day to protect our community,” said Laura
Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, Inc. “These brave men and women
deserve our support, and we want to make sure they are getting the best
equipment possible. We thank Central Market for helping us in this endeavor.”<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

The Invest in a Vest initiative is a partnership between
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit’s charitable foundation, Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges,
and <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__armor.angelintelligence.com_&amp;d=DwMFAg&amp;c=RI9dKKMRNVHr9NFa7OQiQw&amp;r=sk5USDwmUEE4ok_CrAuTRt65jcSsBoaW7LVVWFrnuCo&amp;m=erF0FDrixGPkaiwnxRzyWlfkcz0zdMgas9cK1jpXfxo&amp;s=cfv5Qyi5sLwTyHTdCP21C4PqSYXVFAalZ5e3ziby7yA&amp;e=">Angel
Armor</a> to provide local police officers with life-saving body armor. A $500
donation provides one officer with a set of ballistic plates, which are capable
of protecting them from sniper rounds and high-powered ammunition. Wearing body
armor more than triples the likelihood that an officer can survive a shooting
to the torso, according to a RAND Corporation study. In addition, more than
3,000 officers’ lives have been saved by their body armor to date, according to
the American National Institute of Justice.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

“Central Market has great respect for our police officers
who commit their lives to our safety each and every day.&nbsp; This donation of vest plates is our way of
saying “Thank you” for their loyal and dedicated service to the city of
Dallas,” said Stephen Butt, President of Central Market. “These new plates will
provide an added layer of state-of-the art defense for those who protect all of
us.”<o:p></o:p>

Dickey’s Barbecue, Boots & Badges Foundation Provides 50 Life-Saving Vests for Local Officers

(Dallas,
TX)—In celebration of National Police Week, the nation’s largest barbecue chain
announces a special opportunity for all first responders to join Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit by offering a franchise fee discount. In collaboration with
Dickey’s charitable organization, Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges, all first

franchise fee, a discount of 33%.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

“We
have a strong connection to first responders through Dickey’s charitable
foundation, Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges, which focuses on serving those who
protect us through local efforts,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s
Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “At Dickey’s, we strive to partner with franchisees

&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

Similar
to Dickey’s franchise discount for military, this opportunity applies to law
enforcement, firefighters and EMT. Dickey’s recent involvement with first
responders also includes the launch of Barbecue, Boots and Badges’ ‘Invest in a
Vest’ initiative, which aims to reduce risk for police officers by providing
life-saving bullet proof vests and included a kickoff donation of ballistic
plates to Dallas Police Department’s entire gang unit. &nbsp;In addition, Dickey’s has a longstanding offer

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Offers Special Franchise Deal to First Responders

(DALLAS)&nbsp;Hosting a
backyard barbecue is a&nbsp;Memorial Day&nbsp;tradition for many Americans.
&nbsp;Dickey's Barbecue will smoke just over 45,000 racks of ribs
in&nbsp;nearly 600 locations nationwide this Memorial Day weekend.&nbsp;In
fact, Memorial Day is the third most popular holiday for barbecuing, just after
Father's Day and Labor Day, according to <a href="https://forbes.com/">Forbes.com</a>.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

"Many folks will fire up
the grill over Memorial Day weekend. We hope to compliment this great grilling
tradition with slow-smoked barbecue or offer folks an alternative if they want
to escape the time commitment of barbecue,"&nbsp;said Laura Rea Dickey,
CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. "Grilling is high heat and
short cook time. For instance, a great burger takes about five&nbsp;minutes at
650 degrees Fahrenheit on an&nbsp;open-flame grill. Our authentic, Texas-style
brisket smokes for 14 hours overnight at 225 degrees Fahrenheit in a
hickory-wood pit in every single Dickey’s location."<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

For those looking to spend more
time over the holiday relaxing and less time overseeing the barbecue, Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit is offering a 10% discount for catering; guests can visit <a href="https://dickeys.com/">dickeys.com</a> or text
CATER to 65600 to receive a coupon code for 10% off catering all weekend
long.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

“Memorial Day is first a time
of appreciation for those who serve to protect us, and second a time to be with
families and friends,” said Dickey. “At Dickey’s, we hope to help folks enjoy
the holiday by offering authentic, straight-from-the-pit barbecue without the
hassle.”<o:p></o:p>

Beef Up Your Memorial Day Weekend with 10% Off Dickey’s Barbecue Catering

(Dallas, TX)—More authentic, slow-smoked barbecue is in
the near future for Massachusetts with a newly inked development agreement
between Dickey’s Barbecue Pit and local franchisee, Larry Jones. This is the
first Dickey’s development agreement in Massachusetts.&nbsp; Jones’ new
Dickey’s locations are under development in Andover and Burlington, scheduled
to open in late fall 2017. <o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

Jones, a Ph.D. in Engineering and self-proclaimed
barbecue connoisseur, plans to draw on his decades of engineering experience as
a new Dickey’s Owner Operator. “Aside from my personal love of barbecue, I feel
that my engineering background will play a part in my success as an
Owner/Operator, particularly in terms of the dedication it takes to own a
franchise and the analytics of operating one,” says Jones. “I am glad to have
joined a franchise like Dickey’s. The Dickey’s corporate team is very
supportive and Texas-style barbecue is a niche product. There’s nothing else
like it in the Massachusetts so I’m looking forward to filling that gap and
sharing delicious, Texas-style barbecue with my fellow Massachusetts locals.”<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

“Dickey’s is expanding rapidly across the nation, now
with nearly 600 locations in now 44 states and international expansion on the
horizon,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “It

Larry to make this growth possible. We are excited to bring more of our iconic

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Announces Summer Savings with Barbecoupons

(Dallas, TX)-- California boasts the most Dickey’s Barbecue Pit locations aside from the brand’s home state of Texas, thanks in part to dedicated Owner/Operators like Michael and Margarita Tucker. After being inspired by the success of their first location in La Quinta, the Tuckers have opened 4 additional locations in just the last year and a half and plan on opening 23 more across California. With upcoming openings on the San Diego State campus and in Rialto in the near future, they are constantly looking for prime new locations to further expand and spread the passion for the art of great barbecue.
&nbsp;
“Dickey’s occupies a really unique niche in the market and is a pioneer in the fast casual barbecue industry,” said Michael. “My wife and I are excited to grow even more with this great brand and continue bringing delicious barbecue to families across California.”
&nbsp;
The Tuckers are long-term entrepreneurs and have been in the franchising industry for 17 years. Michael had always wanted to be in the food business with a franchise and was intrigued by Dickey’s smoked-on-site concept. After the couple had lunch at Dickey’s and tasted the pit-smoked, Texas-style barbecue for themselves, they were sold.
&nbsp;
“We are proud to have passionate Owner/Operators like Michael and Margarita as part of the Dickey’s family,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “Dickey’s now has nearly 600 locations in 44 states, and our rapid growth would not have been possible without the support of our Owner/Operators.”

California Entrepreneur Keeps Coming Back for More Texas-Style Barbecue

(Dahlgren, VA)-- Roger Wright began his journey with Dickey’s Barbecue Pit a year ago, investing in his first location with his cousin, James Wright in Alexandria, Virginia. With such success in this first location, he is now finalizing the details of his own location in Dahlgren, Virginia. This first-time business owner was inspired to join Dickey’s after having his first taste of the Texas-style barbecue.
&nbsp;
“Two years ago I ate at Dickey’s for the first time, and I was sold immediately,” said Wright.&nbsp; “One of my favorite things about being a part of Dickey’s is making customers happy by serving them delicious, slow-smoked barbecue.”
&nbsp;
Roger Wright’s location in Dahlgren is on track to open by summer 2017. In the meantime, Virginians can get their pit-smoked barbecue fix at the Alexandria or Southpoint locations, both owned by his cousin, James Wright; or find their nearest Dickey’s Barbecue Pit location <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/locations">here</a>.
&nbsp;
“The Dickey’s family has enjoyed our relationship with Roger, first as an investor and now as an Owner,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. “We congratulate Roger on the upcoming opening of his own location and look forward to bringing more barbecue to Virginians.”

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Investor Opening his Own Location

(Dallas, TX) For 65 years,
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit has offered ease with Easter meats &amp; feasts. The
nation’s largest Barbecue chain started serving families 76 years ago, but
added traditional Easter meats and side items as an option ten years later,
when guests inquired about reserving whole meats for the holiday. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

This year Dickeys will offer
whole spiral-cut smoked hams, smoked Turkeys, and Cajun-fried turkeys and a new
addition, whole Prime Rib, along with complete meals. Guests can order online,
by phone or in-store to get their Easter ham and all the fixins’.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

The full Easter feast includes
Dickey’s signature Baked Potato Casserole, Green Beans with Bacon, Caesar
Salad, 12 buttery rolls and a gallon of tea; feeding 10 – 12 people and available
for $99.95. All essentials included so more time can be focused on family and
less time spent in the kitchen<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

“Our family started the Easter
meal options to help families reduce holiday preparation stress,” says Laura
Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “Each of our meats bring
to the table slow-smoked quality, that requires hours of preparation, however
ordering a complete feast ready to serve from Dickey's, helps the family host
avoid hours in their own kitchen and frees up&nbsp;time to spend with family. “<o:p></o:p>
