Tupelo,
MS – July 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / Marty Ballard and Jason Ellis have
similar stories. They were both born in Mississippi and got their start
at Pepsi in Tupelo. Following their time at Pepsi, they both went to work
with the Little Caesars franchise. Ballard and Ellis will continue working
together when they open their first Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Tupelo on
Thursday,
July 24 at 11 a.m.
“We
have barbecue options in Tupelo, but not the Texas-style barbecue Dickey’s
Barbecue offers,” said local owner, Jason Ellis. “The meats are slow smoked
for 14 hours which makes a real difference. We’re excited to share this
dining experience with the community!”
Thursday
kicks off with the first 50 guests receiving gift cards worth up to $50.
On Friday, customers have the chance to grab Dickey’s Barbecue gear
with all day merchandise giveaways. Saturday, stop by for jams when
radio station Wizard 106.7 is onsite from noon to 2 p.m. This location
will be serving $2 pulled pork barbecue
sandwiches. Also, one lucky winner will be chosen for a $500 gift card
and three winners will receive free barbecue for an entire year.
Ballard
owns eight Little Caesars in Mississippi and Louisiana. Ellis owns Little
Caesars in Booneville.
The
new Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Tupelo is located at The Barnes Shopping
Center at 3946 North Gloster Street, Suite F and the phone number is 662.840.9500.
