Dickey’s Barbecue Pit will celebrate 70 years of serving the greatest tasting barbecue.
Today the restaurant chain, famous for their pit-smoked signature meats and souvenir big yellow cups, will offer $1 big barbecue southern pulled pork sandwiches and drinks at every store in celebration of the milestone nationwide.
“This is a huge year for us, we are turning 70 and expanding at an unbelievable rate of 46 percent growth rate,” said Roland Dickey, Jr., President of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We are grateful to each and every community that supports our restaurant and want to give back in a big way.”
Alongside the $1 sandwiches and drinks until 3 p.m., the final round of the national barbecue eating competition will be held at the original Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Dallas, TX at 5 p.m.
“I’m looking forward to this celebration after such a remarkable year,” said Dickey. “
It’s our way of saying thanks to our customers.”
