Idaho Welcomes Another Dickey's Barbecue Pit

NAMPA, Idaho, Oct. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dickey's Barbecue Pit welcomes new franchisees Dana and Cheryl Phillips to the nation's fastest growing barbecue chain.

"We have owned and operated our own business for the past 26 years," said Cheryl Phillips. "And we are looking forward to the opportunity Dickey's offers as we make changes in our life to be closer to our son's family."

Dana and Cheryl's son's family is living in Nampa with 4 of the 8 grandchildren. Setting up a Dickey's Barbecue in this location seemed only logical for the pair.

Cheryl was born in Washington and Dana was born in Tennessee. Cheryl was in banking for 10 years while Dana drove a semi-truck. Together they started an insurance agency that they have operated for the past 26 years.

"We are excited for the opportunity to stretch our wings and try a new venture," said Cheryl. "From all the literature we have read, the support Dickey's offers to help us succeed are amazing."

Texas-based Dickey's Barbecue Pit opened in 1941 and began franchising in 1994. Dickey's Barbecue Pit is well-known for their hot pit-smoked signature meats, complimentary ice cream and the big yellow cups. The quick-serve barbecue chain has grown exponentially over the years and is said to have 200 stores by year's end.
