Marcos, TX – August 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit is expanding in South Texas with two new locations slated
to open in New Braunfels and San Marcos. The first location in New Braunfels
will open at I-35 and FM-306 in Fall 2016. The San Marcos store will follow
in 2017 with the location to be determined.
“Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit is continually expanding throughout our home state,” says
Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. “We are proud to increase
our presence in South Texas with these two new stores.”
Previously
a manager in the oil and gas industry, Owner/Operator Kenneth Elliott has
many years of experience in lean operations management. He has always been
passionate about superior customer engagement, so Dickey’s Barbecue Pit
was the right fit when the opportunity to invest in a franchise arose.
“I’ve been a fan of Dickey’s my whole life,” Elliott says. “When I moved
to South Texas I realized there was a need for Dickey’s on the I-35 corridor
between San Antonio and Austin. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to
bring Dickey’s quality barbecue to New Braunfels and San Marcos.”
