Southern California Dickey's Franchisee, Lonnie Fryar, has inked a deal this week to bring two more units to the outskirts of Los Angeles in Rancho Cucamonga and Lakewood.

"While California has seen capacity mandates shift forwards and backwards over the last nine months, the ability to remain open with online ordering, delivery, curbside, to-go, and pick-up have been critical to the success of my business," Fryar said in a company press release. "We're excited to expand using the momentum of our first store's success to develop additional units here in southern California and bring more folks our ' Legit. Texas. Barbecue.'"

Over the past year, Dickey's has seen an uptick in existing franchisees developing additional units for both non-traditional and traditional models, Dickey's CEO Laura Rea Dickey said in the release.

"We look forward to seeing Lonnie replicate the success of his first location at his new stores on the west coast," Dickey said.

Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants Inc. was founded in 1941 and operates over 500 locations.
