Newton,
KS – May 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / Shawn Stobbe was born and raised
in Newton and on Thursday, May 29 at 11:00 a.m. he will open
the first Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in
his hometown. The grand opening kicks off with a three-day celebration
starting on Thursday with the first 50 dine-in customers receiving a gift

“Texas
barbecue is something we haven’t had before in Newton,” said first time
franchise owner Shawn Stobbe. “In Newton, we’re all about friends, family
and helping out the community and we want to keep that small town heart
— Dickey’s Barbecue Pit really fits in well with our family friendly community.”

Stobbe
set out on a 6 month mission to find the perfect franchise before choosing
Dickey’s Barbecue. He knew Newton needed something new and delicious. Stobbe
tried ten Dickey’s Barbecue Pit locations around the Midwest and they all
proved consistent with excellent quality. The new Dickey’s Barbecue Pit
in Newton is located at 214 E 12th Street and the telephone number is 316-282-8009.
