Dickey’s Barbecue Pit has signed a three-store development agreement in Central Ohio. The Buckeye State currently boasts eight Dickey’s locations, and the brand is expanding rapidly throughout the Midwest.<\/p>\n
Owner\/Operator Kelley Millikin spent most of his career in business to business sales and account management prior to becoming an entrepreneur. Having lived in Ohio for 23 years, he decided to make his passion into a career and go into the barbecue business full time. "I knew Dickey’s was the right concept because of the exceptional growth rate and the quality of the product," Millikin says. "This franchise appeals to my natural love of barbecue, but as a potential business owner I chose Dickey’s for the operations efficiency and quality." The specific locations for the new stores have not been determined as of yet, but they will be located in Central Ohio, in the Columbus area. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
