Dickey's going to Africa
December 10, 2019
Dickey's Barbecue Pit is opening in Cairo, Egypt, next year via a development deal with the Swinder Group to launch the brand in Africa.
Since my family opened the first Dickey's in 1941, we've made it our mission to serve as many guests as possible the very best barbecue out there," Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey's Capital Group, said in a company press release. "With this new partnership, Dickey's legit Texas Barbecue will soon be available on four continents."
In addition to over 500 locations in North America, Dickey's opened its first international location in the Middle East in 2018, and the first Dickey's in South America is slated to open in Brazil in June.
"Dickey's looks forward to our partnership with the Swinder Group," Jim Perkins, VP of international development for Dickey's Barbecue Pit, said in the release. "Swinder Group's operators, the Toama family, are a perfect mix of intellect, professionalism and business acumen."
