TX – September 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit is continuing explosive growth plans across the Southwest
by bringing its signature slow-smoked barbecue to Arizona with the addition
of four future store locations following a newly executed Development Agreement.
The four locations in and around the Phoenix area will be located in Chandler,
Gilbert, Mesa and Queen Creek and will be owned and operated by Phoenix
resident Thomas Emmons.
“Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit has eight stores in Arizona, and we are looking forward to
bringing four new locations to this particular region of the U.S.,” says
Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We now
have more than 500 locations across the U.S. and we are always looking
for new opportunities for growth. Our guests in these markets have been
asking for some time when we were going to open more stores here, and we
are thrilled to continue to expand across Arizona.”

The
new Arizona stores are slated to open over the next two years. Thomas Emmons
has been an Owner / Operator for the past four years, after leaving a long
career in the telecom industry preceded by service in the Marine Corps.
The Texas-style barbecue restaurant has done well in Arizona, which led
to the decision to open additional locations. “We are beyond thrilled to
secure four new restaurants under the Dickey’s brand in our home state
of Arizona,” Emmons said. “The Dickey’s Barbecue Pit family has been nothing
less than welcoming and supportive, and we look forward to utilizing this
support as we continue to develop a successful business operation.”
