STRATEGIC PARTNERS
February 24, 2020
Two entrepreneurial brothers are teaming up to bring Dickey's Barbecue Pit to Broadview, Illinois.
Robert and Timothy Hicks are kick-starting their first joint family venture together in the Chicago area, but are looking to open an additional location further south in Birmingham, Alabama. Combined, the brothers have over 35 years of experience working in the food and beverage industry and are now ready to start a family legacy of their own, according to a company press release.
"There is nothing more American than barbecue, so opening this restaurant together is our American dream," Timothy Hicks said in the release.
The brothers will serve beer and wine in addition to Dickey's fan favorites like Jalapeño Cheddar Kielbasa, hickory-smoked brisket and a variety of sides such as mac & cheese, barbecue beans and potato salad.
"We've been family owned and operated since 1941 and so we're excited to have Robert and Tim who share those values join our family," Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants.
Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants was founded in 1941 and now operates over 500 locations in 44 states and two international locations in the UAE.
