AZ – April 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit is proud to announce its expansion throughout Arizona
with a recently executed 10-store development agreement. The first store
will open in Surprise, northwest of Phoenix, in 2016, with two stores opening
per year for the next five years. This agreement marks one of the largest
franchise agreements for Dickey’s with two of its youngest Owner/Operators.
Owner/Operators
and siblings Tiffany Oder and Chad Burge come from a family of multi-unit
franchisees. Only 25 years old, Oder obtained her bachelor’s and master’s
degrees in accounting from Arizona State University followed by her CPA
license before embarking on her career as an entrepreneur. Her brother
Chad is currently attending college at Embry Riddle University and plans
to join the family business as a co-owner. “We are excited to meet our
fellow franchisees and grow with the Dickey’s brand,” Oder says. “We knew
as soon as we first tried the food that we wanted to invest in Dickey’s.
We are excited to serve high-quality, Texas-style barbecue to our home
state while being a part of an energetic, growing brand.”
