Realizing his industry was on a decline, he retired and decided to invest in his own business.

"There is nothing else like Dickey's in our area, and I am excited to bring authentic Texas-style barbecue to Duarte."
The store is located at 1090 Huntington Dr., Duarte, CA 91010. The phone number is 626-205-3990.
