Dickey's Barbecue Pit will have a busy third quarter given six store openings and expanding franchise agreements across the U.S.

The Dallas-based barbecue chain new locations include one in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Oklahoma and two in Texas. The family-owned and operated franchise is on track to open 30 additional restaurants in the U.S. by September, according to a press release.

"During this challenging time in our industry, we have been proud to continue serving our authentic Texas-style barbecue and Southern hospitality across the country," said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, Inc., in the release. "Our development team has also been busy the last three months signing deals in new areas like Rhode Island and expanding in Nevada, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Texas. Whether it's a stand-alone location, food trucks, or travel centers — we have great options for everyone."
