Dickey\u2019s Barbecue Pit is slow smoking into the Texas Panhandle with three new locations slated to arrive in the Amarillo area in the next two years. The first location will open in March 2017, with the other locations to follow in the next year.<\/p>\n
\u201cDickey\u2019s Barbecue Pit has deep roots in Texas, and we are proud to expand into the Texas Panhandle,\u201d says Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Dickey\u2019s Barbecue Pit. \u201cThe Dickey family looks forward to the partnership with Justin Howe to expand the barbecue brand in our home state.\u201d<\/p>\n
Owner\/Operator Justin Howe is a serial entrepreneur, with four businesses currently open in the Amarillo area. Having grown up in the restaurant industry, he started out early peeling shrimp in his grandfather\u2019s restaurant, and now co-owns two original concepts with his stepfather Gary Hutchens. The family currently owns local Amarillo hotspots Texas Tea and Buns Over Texas. \u201cI look forward to growing with Dickey\u2019s,\u201d Howe says. \u201cI was attracted to the barbecue brand because of its consistency, quality and rapid growth. I love to cook and I love barbecue, and I\u2019m excited to begin this new venture in my hometown.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
