TX – July 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit is slow smoking into the Texas Panhandle with three new
locations slated to arrive in the Amarillo area in the next two years.
The first location will open in March 2017, with the other locations to
follow in the next year.
“Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit has deep roots in Texas, and we are proud to expand into the
Texas Panhandle,” says Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit.
“The Dickey family looks forward to the partnership with Justin Howe to
expand the barbecue brand in our home state.”
Owner/Operator
Justin Howe is a serial entrepreneur, with four businesses currently open
in the Amarillo area. Having grown up in the restaurant industry, he started
out early peeling shrimp in his grandfather’s restaurant, and now co-owns
two original concepts with his stepfather Gary Hutchens. The family currently
owns local Amarillo hotspots Texas Tea and other local restraunts. “I look
forward to growing with Dickey’s,” Howe says. “I was attracted to the barbecue
brand because of its consistency, quality and rapid growth. I love to cook
and I love barbecue, and I’m excited to begin this new venture in my hometown.”
Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit is expanding rapidly nationwide, with more than 560 locations
in 43 states. The nation’s largest barbecue chain, Dickey’s offers a low
startup cost to franchisees and ongoing marketing and training support
for every store system-wide.
