Dickey's opening new location in Mississippi

July 21, 2014

Dickey's Barbecue Pit announced today the opening of a new store on July 24 at The Barnes Shopping Center at 3946 North Gloster Street, Suite F in Tupelo, Miss.

"We have barbecue options in Tupelo, but not the Texas-style barbecue Dickey's Barbecue offers," said local owner, Jason Ellis, in a company press release. "The meats are slow smoked for 14 hours which makes a real difference. We're excited to share this dining experience with the community."

Ellis co-owns the Tupelo franchise along with partner Marty Ballard. Ballard also owns eight Little Caesars in Mississippi and Louisiana, and Ellis owns Little Caesars in Booneville, Miss.

On July 24, the first 50 guests will receive $50 gift cards. On July 25, the store will give away Dickey's merchandise. On July, 26 local radio station Wizard 106.7 will broadcast live onsite from noon to 2 p.m. This location will be serving $2 pulled pork barbecue sandwiches, one winner will be chosen for a $500 gift card and three winners will receive free barbecue for a year.
