family’s future,” says Patel. “Owning my own business is something that I have
always wanted to do, and now I am finally doing it.”<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>This will be the second Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in the state of New

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Expands in Texas with New Odessa Location

New Dickey’s locations are slated to open in Foothill Ranch, Irvine and Mission Viejo
(Foothill Ranch, CA) Dickey’s Barbecue Pit continues to grow throughout California, with an increased store count that is second only behind its home state of Texas. The first of four new stores will open in Spring 2017 in Foothill Ranch. Two in Irvine and one in Mission Viejo are to follow. The four new locations are included in a development agreement between Dickey’s and new franchisee Scott Cole.
&nbsp;
“We congratulate Scott Cole on his four-store development agreement,” says Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. “We are growing rapidly in California, and we are very proud to continue opening new locations to serve Texas-style barbecue to the people of California.”
&nbsp;
Scott Cole has called Orange County home his entire life. While spending the beginning of his professional career in business development, he decided it was time to have a business of his own. Born and raised in California, the people, food and culture of the Golden State is nothing new to him so when it came time to start a business he knew that the restaurant industry was the way to go. Cole, along with his wife Susan were eager to start out on a new adventure by opening their own franchise together. After doing extensive research, the Cole’s found a home with Dickey’s Barbecue. “I researched a variety of brands and chose Dickey’s because I just love the food,” says Cole. “Now I look forward to becoming a part of the Dickey’s family and serving great barbecue to my community.”
&nbsp;
Among his love for Dickey’s authentic slow-smoked Texas barbecue, Cole saw that there was a void in the market for a fast casual barbecue restaurant. “In Texas, there is a barbecue place on every corner, and we just don’t have that here,” says Cole.

For
the Dubin family, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is a family business. The Pahrump
location is the first of eight stores which will open in Nevada and Southern
California, and the entire Dubin family will be a part of each store’s
operations. The fact that the barbecue brand is still owned and operated by its
founding family was a big part of Doug Dubin’s decision to start franchising. “We
are excited to provide career opportunities for our family and other families,”
Dubin says. “We look forward to serving authentic Texas barbecue to our
community in Pahrump and future locations.” Dubin’s next Dickey’s location will
open in the Las Vegas area by mid-2017, with at least two more stores to open
in and around the Las Vegas Valley and four in Southern California. The new
Dickey’s location will also hold fundraisers for CASA (Court Appointed Special
Advocates) and American Cancer Society during their four-week opening
celebration.<o:p></o:p>
