Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Opens New Location in San Antonio

The four-store development agreement will double Dickey’s presence in the state


                


 (Portland, OR) Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is doubling its footprint in Oregon with a recently executed four-store development agreement. The Beaver State currently boasts four Dickey’s locations.
 Owner/Operator Todd Saperstein owns two of those locations and plans to open one store per year for the next four years, possibly adding more locations in the future.


 Todd Saperstein began his career in the mortgage industry, but decided to change his career path to franchise ownership when the industry took a downturn. After researching franchise concepts, he
 chose Dickey’s because of the rapid growth nationwide and support from the home office. He opened his first Dickey’s location in September 2014 and his second followed in July 2015. He is
 considering locations in and around the Portland area. A native Oregonian, Saperstein says, “I am proud to bring the Dickey’s brand to Oregon, and have gotten excellent feedback from my loyal
 guests. I look forward to bringing Texas-style, slow-smoked barbecue to new regions of our great state.”


 Saperstein says that there is a growing demand for authentic, Texas-style barbecue. The Portland community has wholeheartedly embraced Dickey’s quality meats which are slow-smoked in every
 location, every day.                             



 “Dickey’s is growing rapidly throughout the Pacific Northwest,” says Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We congratulate Todd Saperstein on doubling our brand presence
 in Oregon.”

Fundraiser at 17 DFW Dickey's Locations to Support Injured Officer

The new store model features sustainable elements and a streamlined menu


  


 (Erie, PA) After debuting a new store concept in October 2015 located in the
 barbecue brand’s hometown of Dallas, TX, the first Dickey’s Barbecue Pit location to undertake the new concept will open April 7 in Erie, PA. The new store will offer eight meats and eight sides,
 available in customizable portions that allow each guest to decide how much and how many slow-smoked meats they want to try. Guests will be able to see the full barbecue process on display from the
 glass butcher-style case displaying all the fresh meats to the smoker, located just behind the chopping block, in the open kitchen floorplan.


 The new store design features a holistic sensory
 experience, from décor made largely of sustainably-sourced, reclaimed wood to the hand-crafted design elements highlighting Dickey’s history on the walls paired with a specially curated
 singer/songwriter playlist heard from a Bose surround sound speaker system.


 Dickey’s has made great strides in sustainability with
 the new store model, which also includes recyclable and compostable takeout containers made of 100 percent sugarcane. All other paper products are made with post-consumer recycled fiber. The new
 store, which slow smokes all its meats in-house as all Dickey’s locations do, will now use Dickey’s proprietary wood-blend pellets that consume 80 percent less wood and are made from a blend of
 hickory, cherry and other flavorful woods.


 To celebrate the new store’s grand opening, three guests
 will win free barbecue for a year at the new Erie location. Guests can enter to win using hashtag #1FreeYearofBBQ on any social media page, order <a href="https://dickeys.com/">online</a>
 or sign up for the <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/promos">Big Yellow Cup
 Club</a> to receive special offers and loyalty points which can be redeemed for
 free barbecue.


 Doors open on Thirsty Thursday, when all guests will
 receive a free Big Yellow Cup with Dickey’s new reusable travel lid and straw. On Philanthropy Friday, all proceeds from Dickey’s signature potato chip sales will benefit Dickey’s charitable
 foundation, Barbecue Boots &amp; Badges, which supports first responders and their families. Musician xx will play from 6:00 –
 8:00 p.m. on Friday. Kids eat free on Sunday as always!

 “We worked on developing our new store concept for over
 a year and look forward to bringing the new model outside of Dallas for the first time to Erie, Pennsylvania,” says Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We are glad to
 partner our family business with the McBrier family to serve authentic, Texas-style barbecue.”


 The grand opening weekend
 includes:                          


 Thursday, April 7 – Thirsty Thursday – Free Big Yellow Cup with Dickey’s new reusable travel lid and straw.


 Friday, April 8 – Philanthropy Friday – 100 percent of potato chip sales benefit Dickey’s charitable foundation <a href="http://www.bbabfoundation.org/">Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges</a>,
 which serves the families of first responders. Musician xx will play original tunes from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

 (Phoenix, AZ) Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is proud to announce its expansion throughout Arizona with a recently executed 10-store development agreement. The first store will open in Surprise, northwest
 of Phoenix, in 2016, with two stores opening per year for the next five years. This agreement marks one of the largest franchise agreements for Dickey’s with two of its youngest Owner/Operators.


  


 Owner/Operators and siblings Tiffany Oder and Chad Burge come from a family of multi-unit franchisees. Only 25 years old, Oder obtained her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting from
 Arizona State University followed by her CPA license before embarking on her career as an entrepreneur. Her brother Chad is currently attending college at Embry Riddle University and plans to join
 the family business as a co-owner. “We are excited to meet our fellow franchisees and grow with the Dickey’s brand,” Oder says. “We knew as soon as we first tried the food that we wanted to invest
 in Dickey’s. We are excited to serve high-quality, Texas-style barbecue to our home state while being a part of an energetic, growing brand.”


                                


 “We look forward to continuing to expand our brand presence throughout Arizona,” says Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “This development agreement will double our
 locations in The Grand Canyon State, and we congratulate Tiffany and Chad on their new endeavor.”

Franchisee to Open 10 Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Locations in Arizona

(Dallas, TX) For the past five years, Trinity Hall has been Dickey’s expert in all things related to building a franchise. She has managed all aspects in the
 franchising process from equipment to design to construction, and now oversees the development department which includes all those components, in addition to franchise sales and financing. She has
 opened over 400 stores during her tenure at Dickey’s and has led design and construction initiatives including the recently redesigned store concept that is rolling out
 nationwide.          



  


 Hall offers an insight into franchising from Dickey’s perspective, including advice to potential franchisees below.


  


 The Dickey’s franchising process


 Dickey’s has taken the word ‘sales’ out of their vocabulary and replaced it with ‘development.’ Dickey’s prides itself in offering ongoing support throughout the entire process, not just meeting
 sales quotas.


                


 In the first conversation with potential franchisees, the development team gets to know the prospect and their goals. After the initial conversation, if both parties choose to move forward and feel
 it’s a good match, prospects are invited to Dallas for ‘Discovery Day.’ They are toured through Dickey’s corporate stores and home office to meet the team in person and view the product first hand.
 They meet with Dickey’s executives, including a one-on-one with CEO Roland Dickey, Jr.


  


 Hall’s team consists of specialists in real estate, construction, project management and finance to guide franchisees from the very beginning and throughout the store opening process. Team members
 regularly travel to new store sites to make sure progress happens quickly and correctly.


  


 How Dickey’s franchise system is different


 “Dickey’s focuses on time and pace,” Hall says. “We work quickly and efficiently because we not only respect everyone’s time, but want our franchisees to start making money as soon as possible. We
 realize that buying a franchise is a high-commitment business proposition, so we do everything we can to get stores open and running quickly and smoothly.”


  


 Another differentiator is a new policy Hall has put into place. New franchisees purchase their first store to operate for a time and can add on additional stores later, with limited exceptions.
 Hall’s team does still consider multi-unit franchise deals on a case by case basis, always keeping an eye out for the right fit. Previously, Dickey’s sold multi-store development agreements.
 Dickey’s has an expectation that each franchisee directly operate their store, so this new system allows them to ease into the system, one store at a time. The new policy was created for the
 benefit of Owner/Operators, to allow them the time to get accustomed to running a store before adding new locations and responsibilities. 


  


 Advice to new franchisees


 There is a lot of information out there, as Hall explains. As a franchise is a life-long investment, it is important for potential franchisees to know the company they are investing in. Know its
 growth strategy, where it has been and where it is going. “It is also important to know the executive team,” she says. “Get to know the executives’ histories and passions, and you will know how
 they operate the company. At Dickey’s we want to make sure franchisees find the right fit for their investment and goals. This is why we have invested so much time and resources in our franchise
 development department. We believe we offer a great company to grow with and continue to take steps to ensure our process is a step above the rest.”

 Owner/Operator Amrik Singh has a long history in quick service restaurants. As a teenager he started working in the industry, eventually progressing into management. Singh also had a brief stint of
 franchise ownership in a small California pizza concept. Originally from India, Singh and his family made their home in California when he was a young child, and he looks forward to providing for
 his family in America for years to come. “Dickey’s has been incredibly supportive throughout this whole process, and I am blown away by the corporate office and their attention to detail,” says
 Singh. “We have purchased holiday meals from Dickey’s for years, and I am glad to now own my own stores and serve authentic, delicious food to my community.”

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Announces 3-Store Deal in Northern California

Dickey’s Gears Up for Next LTO  


  


 (Dallas, TX) Dickey’s Launched ‘Pulled Pork Palooza’ to start 2016 with a bang. The centerpiece of the campaign was Pulled Pork Sliders, which were sold for $1 system-wide. In the first quarter,
 Pulled Pork Sliders accounted for a 23 percent increase in sales per store, per day. Overall, Dickey’s sold more than 700,000 sliders system-wide. Guest feedback was overwhelmingly positive, as the

 With the success of Dickey’s first limited time offer in more than two years, the nation’s largest barbecue chain will soon release a new limited time offer for the second quarter. Stay tuned for
 the announcement, but Dickey’s does have one hint: it will be impossible to wrap your mind around it!

Dickey's Barbecue Pit Celebrates Success with Sliders After LTO

Owner/Operator Jack Chubb will open 10 new stores, five of which will open in Hawaii           
     


 (Honolulu, HI) Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is slated to expand into its 44th state with a 10-store development agreement recently executed for Florida and Hawaii. Owner/Operator Jack Chubb
 currently owns Dickey’s locations in Sarasota and Wesley Chapel, Florida, and will open the first Hawaii store by late 2016. The development agreement includes five new stores in Florida and five
 in Hawaii.


 “Dickey’s has grown rapidly nationwide, and we are proud to add our 44th state,” says Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “The new stores in Hawaii are our
 first venture as a company beyond the continental United States, and we look forward to further expansion overseas in the future.”


 A former hospital administrator, Jack Chubb retired from his 34-year executive tenure and decided to become a business owner. He spent most of his research time at his local Dickey’s Barbecue Pit
 enjoying the authentic Texas-style barbecue, when he decided that the barbecue chain was the right opportunity for his next career move. “I love providing a great guest experience, and my favorite
 thing is to see the guests’ faces light up when they eat at Dickeys,” says Chubb. “Barbecue invokes great memories for most people, and I am happy to provide that experience in my stores and
 excited to bring it to Hawaii.”

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Expands to 44th State

Dickey’s has partnered with Spendgo and Tech in a Box to create a data-driven loyalty points system for Big Yellow Cup Club



 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;


(Dallas, TX) Dickey’s Barbecue Pit began the rollout of its new and improved loyalty program early this year which will add loyalty points to the existing program, Big Yellow Cup Club. Big Yellow Cup Club is now partnering with Spendgo, a loyalty customer engagement solution provider to allow guests to receive more personalized and geo-targeted specials. Members earn points that can be redeemed for free Dickey’s barbecue from Big Yellow Cups to Family Packs.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;





 <span style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"> Prior to the inclusion of Spendgo, Big Yellow Cup Club was a source of coupons and discounts for Dickey’s guests, but did not have the extended capability for personalized and targeted marketing efforts. Spendgo goes beyond a traditional point system by integrating member preferences, Big Yellow Cup Club and online ordering to offer points on targeted offers. Dickey’s now sees which offers are redeemed by members and adapts accordingly by giving guests what they want in their hometown locations. Completing the technology trifecta is Tech in a Box, which offers guests free Wi-Fi and identifies guests who redeem Dickey’s special offers. Offers are delivered via text and email and points can be accumulated to redeem for free Dickey’s product, from a Big Yellow Cup to a Family Pack.



 <span style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"> Big Yellow Cup Club along with Spendgo has grown nearly 20 percent through text and email offers since the program’s initiation in September 2014. Leveraging line-item and customer data in real-time is a cornerstone of the updated program. The goal is to create personalized campaigns that drive sales and new guests. “We are proud to introduce these targeted marketing efforts system-wide,” said Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “Using the data from our loyalty programs, Dickey’s is now able to offer great deals on items that guests are most interested in nation-wide.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;




“Our integration with Dickey’s is a great example of a smart food service company that understands how to maximize growth opportunity and provide top-level services to their customers, “said Ivan Matkovic, founder and CEO of Spendgo.&nbsp; We applaud their efforts and are looking forward to a long-term and very successful relationship.”

Press Release: Dickeys Barbecue Pit Expands Loyalty Program

New paper products and other non-food items debuting in 2016 create smaller carbon footprint system-wide


                


 (Dallas, TX) Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is launching new products system-wide that will not only reduce its carbon footprint but generate more opportunities for profitability for Owner/Operators. New
 greener products include paper products, clamshell takeout containers and wood pellets as well as the elimination of foam products. Eco-friendly catering plates are also in the works and are
 planned to debut by May 2016.


  


 Dickey’s new paper towels not only replace current back-of-house paper products, but will also replace front-of-house napkins. These unbleached towels are made from 40 percent post-consumer
 recycled fiber and exceed EPA guidelines. New toilet paper also exceeds EPA guidelines, made from 25 percent post-consumer recycled fiber and meets the Green Seal standard by using less water and
 no chlorine during processing. Dickey’s is also using butcher paper for dine-in service, which is made of natural unbleached craft paper and is fully recyclable.


  


 New clamshell takeout containers are made of 100 percent sugarcane, which is fully compostable and fully recyclable. They are lined with wax, which gives the containers the sturdiness needed for
 takeout but also allow them to be fully eco-friendly. A new three-compartment catering plate made of sugarcane is also in the works to replace foam plates.


  


 “We are proud to roll out these green improvements to current products,” says Tamala Fowler, Vice President of Purchasing and R&amp;D. “Positive feedback from Owner/Operators and guests inspire us
 to continue moving toward more sustainability initiatives and eco-friendly practices.”


  


 Dickey’s also rolled out its proprietary blend of wood pellets to be used in smokers last October with the debut of its newly redesigned store concept. The wood pellets are made of a blend of
 hickory, cherry and other flavorful woods, and use 80% less wood use than a traditional pit smoker, drastically reducing the carbon footprint.
