Los
Angeles, CA – October 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit CEO Roland Dickey Jr. has announced a new three-store
development agreement with Owner/Operator Alex Roth. Already the owner
of the Redondo Beach Dickey’s location, Roth’s agreement originally contained
one store. This new agreement adds three more stores to the deal. Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit now has more than 100 stores in California and is rapidly
expanding in The Golden State.
Roland
Dickey Jr. saw the potential in extending the partnership with Roth, a
United States Marine Corps reservist who began his career in foodservice
at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. Roland Dickey Jr. and Roth have extended their
Dickey’s barbecue Pit Franchise agreement to encompass the southern part
of Los Angeles County, starting in Hawthorn and extending south. He will
also open a new location as far south as Lomita.
The
new stores will all be opened using Dickey’s new store model, complete
with sustainable elements such as reclaimed wood throughout the dining
room and Dickey’s proprietary blend of wood pellets to be used in the smoker.
Alex
Roth explained, “The community in Redondo Beach has wholeheartedly embraced
us, and so many people who came during our grand opening have become loyal
guests who stop in several times per week. We are delighted to serve our
community delicious barbecue and look forward to expanding into Los Angeles
County.”
Roland
Dickey Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc., said of the deal,
“Dickey’s has grown rapidly along the West Coast, and we are proud to have
dedicated Owner/Operators such as Alex Roth who further our brand every
day. The Dickey family congratulates Alex on his development agreement
and we look forward to celebrating many grand openings in the future.”
