Dickey's Barbecue Pit Opens in the North End of Bridgeport

BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Nov. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dickey's Barbecue Pit is now open in Bridgeport. Local franchise owner, Alan Cohen opened his doors on November 20.

"I was born and raised in Texas, so good barbecue has always been a part of my life," said Cohen. "I wanted to bring that to my new home in the Northeast."

Cohen was born in Dallas, Texas. Music was always a huge part of his life. Cohen used to be a jazz musician in New Orleans until Hurricane Katrina, but he still plays the saxophone and watches live music whenever he can. When Cohen isn't playing music, he can be seen volunteering for various groups and local charities. Cohen is currently a member of the Chamber of Commerce in his area.

"I am looking forward to not only bringing great barbecue to Bridgeport and Trumbull, but also to support the local schools and charities in the area," said Cohen.

Dickey's Barbecue Pit is on the north end of Bridgeport. It is located at 4577 Main Street in the Brookside Shopping Center near Staples and Stop and Shop, just down the road from the Westfield Mall in Trumbull and Sacred Heart University.
