Working in Texas: Dickey's Barbecue Pit!!

If it was a press release maybe it would read something like this:

 

From Chicken in Africa to Barbecue in Texas, talented marketing graduate joins the Dickeys team

Today I accepted a position as Marketing Specialist for Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, the fastest growing barbecue restaurant chain the United States. 

It seems like a tremendous opportunity to start my career here in Texas and I thank you for all your help with getting me where I am today

Dickey's is a national brand, but each restaurant is locally owned.

The first Dickey's Barbecue opened in 1941 in Dallas, TX.

The original location is still open for business and Dickey's Barbecue is still owned and operated by the Dickey Family. 

Dickey's only began franchising in 1994.  Today, there are 139 locations in 33 states. 

Dickey's is in a period of aggressive franchise growth, with 170+ locations, here they all are, shown in this picture. I will help develop new store locations, and work on developing the brand in the stores.

A photo I took of a Dickey's Van, could this be my future mode of transport?

I start next Monday and will keep you updated with my progress.

Thanks once again for all your help and support, It took a while coming, but thank God it all worked out!!
