Dickey's Barbecue Pit Plans for San Antonio Expansion

SAN ANTONIO, June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Peter Do sets out to open his first Dickey's Barbecue Pit, the largest quick-serve barbecue chain in the country, in his San Antonio community.

"Dickey's Barbecue Pit offers the perfect combination of great food and a strong business model," Do said. "When I was researching franchise opportunities, it was that combination that sealed the deal for me."

This is the first franchise opportunity for Do and the fourth Dickey's Barbecue Pit for San Antonio.

"I appreciate the family-oriented mindset and the friendly atmosphere of a Dickey's restaurant. Coupling those qualities with great barbecue is something that I would really like to see more of in San Antonio. I enjoy hospitality and love to make new friends feel welcome around me," said Do, an engineer.  "I think that one of the fastest ways to make a friend is to share a great meal together, so this is a really great opportunity for me to become a part of the San Antonio community."

Peter, a graduate from Michigan State University, is originally from Michigan and then moved to San Antonio "for the friendly people, hot weather, and the awesome food," he said.  "I've always loved Texas as a state, and I am really excited to be a part of it."

"We are so thrilled that Do will be opening his own Dickey's Barbecue Pit," President of Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. Roland Dickey, Jr. said. "As our company grows, we grow as a family. This is a great opportunity for the company."

Texas-based Dickey's Barbecue Pit opened in 1941 and began franchising in 1994. Dickey's Barbecue Pit is well-known for their pit-smoked signature meats, complimentary ice cream and the big yellow cups.

"We have so many new franchise owners who are investing with us. With this economy, we are glad people trust us for success and do not take that trust for granted. Their victory is our victory and we plan on only moving forward," Dickey said.

The preparation prior to opening a Dickey's franchise is extensive, ensuring that everyone is thoroughly prepared to hit the ground running.

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

There are 147 locations in 35 states.
