Roland Dickey, Jr. is celebrating new franchise openings in California and Iowa by existing franchisees, sending his personal congratulations to those helping expand the Dickey’s Barbecue brand.

Dallas, TX -- (SBWire) -- 10/02/2015 --Roland Dickey Jr. says that together with the fundamental menu of his successful Texas barbecue brand Dickey's Barbecue, two secrets have allowed him to build the brand from 20 to over 500 inside ten years: details, and people. The details that make his stores a success are shared with his franchisees. The franchisees are carefully selected for their personal attributes so they are not only successful but also add to the brand family at Dickey's. Roland Dickey, Jr. is currently celebrating the efforts of a new franchisee opening his first Dickey's in Council Bluffs, Iowa, as well as the growing success of a California franchisee opening an eleventh branch in Clovis.

Council Bluffs residents will have a reason to celebrate when Dickey's Barbecue Pit opens on Thursday, October 1 with a three-day barbecue extravaganza featuring amazing discounts, prizes and a year's worth of free Barbecue for select lucky winners. The three-day cook out is designed to introduce the Texas brand with a traditional southern fanfare.

Bryan and Kevin Roche of California are simultaneously opening their eleventh Dickey's Barbecue Pit at a new California location in Clovis. The eleventh franchise will benefit from the experience and successes the Roche's have achieved in their career with Dickey's so far, as well as giving Dickey's an opportunity to spread the word about delicious Texas barbecue.

A spokesperson for Roland Dickey, Jr. explained, "Roland is thrilled to introduce his brand to new territories and has every confidence in the individuals responsible for leading this expansion to new audiences. Roland's vision has always been to make Dickey's Barbecue Pit the first truly national barbecue restaurant chain, and these franchisees are directly responsible for helping make that dream a reality, earning them nothing but gratitude and support from the CEO, who has led the field in franchisee support."
