Big NY expansion ahead for Dickey's Barbecue Pit

November 1, 2018

New franchisee Jerry Stephan plans to open 21 Dickey’s Barbecue Pit locations in New York, with the first opening on Long Island in the spring of 2019.

"At Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, we truly are a family business and we love to see the success of our franchisees," said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, in a press release. "We look forward to our partnership with Jerry as it is very exciting to have him as both a franchisee and as a partner who will help us choose the best owner/operators and site locations for the new stores coming to New York."

Stephan has more than 15 years in the franchising business.

"I was looking for a new restaurant concept to bring to Long Island and after doing research on the Dickey's Barbecue Pit franchise I knew that it was a great fit," said Stephan in the release. "After being in the industry for a while, I really liked how Dickey's business model is set up and, of course, I love the slow-smoked barbecue."
