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
responders nationwide are offered $5000 off the initial Dickey’s Barbecue Pit
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
who are dedicated, contributing members of their local communities, such as
these men and women. Now, during National Police Week, is an ideal time to
launch this opportunity for these important community members to join the Dickey’s
family.” <o:p></o:p>

&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
of 50% off for first responders that dine in at select locations. <o:p></o:p>

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

Get 10% Off Dickey’s Barbecue Catering This Memorial Day Weekend

(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
is important to us to partner with hardworking, passionate Owner/Operators like
Larry to make this growth possible. We are excited to bring more of our iconic
barbecue to the Bay State.”<o:p></o:p>
