June 20, 2014 // Franchising.com // Tuscaloosa, AL - On Thursday, June 26 at 11:00 a.m. Alabama will get two new barbecue restaurants. To celebrate, the new Dickey's Barbecue Pit locations in both Northport and Tuscaloosa are hosting three-day grand opening celebrations. Roland Dickey, Sr. will be on-site in Tuscaloosa on Friday and Northport on Saturday giving away free cookbooks.
Raji Singh owns and operates the new Dickey's Barbecue Pit location in Tuscaloosa and Wesley Harbin owns and operates the Northport location. A fourth Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Alabama opens in Huntsville this July.
Dickey's Barbecue was founded by Travis Dickey with the goal of authentic slow smoked barbecue. More than 73 years later, the Dallas-based family-run barbecue franchise still offers a quality selection of signature meats, home style sides, tangy barbecue sauce and free kids meals every Sunday. All meats are slow smoked onsite in each restaurant. The fast-casual family-friendly concept has expanded to over 400 locations in 40 states and holds the title of the world's largest barbecue franchise. This year Technomic named Dickey's “Fastest-growing restaurant in the country” and they were also named “Best Franchise Deal” by QSR Magazine.
