Roland Dickey, Jr. has sent his personal congratulations to franchise owners launching Dickey’s Barbecue Pit restaurants across Pennsylvania, expanding the company to new neighbourhoods.
Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/23/2015 -- Roland Dickey, Jr. says that together with the fundamental menu of his successful Texas barbecue brand Dickey's Barbecue Franchise, two secrets have allowed him to build the brand from twenty 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 franchisee, James Wright for signing on to open four new additional stores in Virginia over the next year. Two of the new stores will be located in Alexandria and Thornburg, and the last two sites are to be determined.
An accountant of 27 years, Owner/Operator James Wright started his career with Dickey's when he purchased super majority ownership in the Fredericksburg store in May of 2015. He immediately attended Dickey's four-week training course in Dallas, then assumed ownership of the store in June.
"Dickey's has provided training tools at every step of the process, which makes the learning curve much more manageable," Wrights said. "With Dickey's, I know I can build a successful business that I will one day pass on to my son, all the while helping people in my community by providing employment opportunities."
A spokesperson for Roland Dickey, Jr. explained, "Roland is thrilled to introduce his brand to new territories and has every confidence in James for leading this expansion to new audiences. Roland's vision has always been to make Dickey's barbecue the first truly national Barbecue restaurant, 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."
