To celebrate, the new location in Covington will host a three day grand opening event that includes a $500 gift card giveaway.

Thursday, the first 50 guests will receive gift cards worth up to $50. Friday, the party continues with all day Dickey's Barbecue Pit merchandise giveaways including t-shirts, sunglasses and koozies.
