Dickey's Barbecue Pit Opens First Location in Richmond

RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dickey's Barbecue Pit launches a third location in Virginia today, as Terry and Lisa Henshaw open the largest quick serve barbecue restaurant in the country, at 7037 A Forest Hill Avenue in Richmond.

"Opening our own restaurant is a dream of ours, while bringing Dickey's Barbecue to Richmond makes perfect sense. The community needs great barbecue and Dickey's is the perfect fit for this area," said Franchise Owner Lisa Henshaw.

This is the 163rd location nationwide for the barbecue chain that celebrates its 70th anniversary this year.

"It's exciting to finally open the doors to our restaurant after months of hard work," Terry said. "The journey with Dickey's Barbecue has been very rewarding so far, and I know it will only develop as Richmond becomes familiar with the consistent quality of the brand."

Dickey's is growing at a rapid rate with a 38% growth rate over the past 2 years.

Dickey's began franchising in 1994.

The first Dickey's Barbecue opened in 1941 in Dallas, TX.

The original location is still open for business and Dickey's Barbecue is still owned and operated by the Dickey Family.

Committed to exceptional quality at an affordable price, Dickey's still slow smokes all of its signature meats overnight in every restaurant.
