Local Entrepreneur Plans to Open New Dickey's Location in Virginia

ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dickey's Barbecue Pit will be opening its tenth new location in the state of Virginia with a new store slated to begin serving delicious, Texas-style barbecue in 2017. The new store's owner, Mario Aguilar, is excited to embark on this new adventure by opening his very first Dickey's Barbecue Pit location in the community he grew up in.

"The Dickey family congratulates Mario Aguilar on opening his first Dickey's Barbecue Pit location in Virginia," says Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. "Dickey's Barbecue Pit is growing rapidly across the nation, and we are always proud when we have the opportunity to add a new Owner/Operator to the Dickey's family."

Born and raised in Virginia, Aguilar has been part of this community his entire life and is excited to serve Dickey's Barbecue to the people whom he considers his family. Aguilar has been a business owner for the past 12 years, owning multiple AT&T locations throughout Virginia. When he decided it was time to get into the restaurant industry he knew Dickey's was the right place for him because he loves the food and the 75-year-old brand.

"Dickey's is a great brand that is well-known throughout the nation and I am excited to be a part of it," says Aguilar. "Dickey's will do well in this community because there is a large need for slow-smoked barbecue, and I am proud to be the one to provide it."
