Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Expands Nationwide with New Locations and Ghost Kitchens
DALLAS, TX – August 13, 2025 – Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is turning up the heat in 2025, announcing a series of exciting new openings that will bring its signature Texas-style barbecue to even more communities across the nation. This July, the beloved brand launched new locations in Kapolei, Hawaii; La Junta, Colorado; and Enterprise, Alabama, along with three innovative ghost kitchens designed to serve additional markets.
For over 80 years, Dickey’s has been synonymous with authentic Texas barbecue, combining mouthwatering slow-smoked meats with a commitment to community hospitality. The recent openings mark a significant milestone in the brand’s mission to share its “Legit. Texas. Barbecue.™” with barbecue lovers from coast to coast.
“We’re thrilled to welcome these new locations into the Dickey’s family,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “Each opening represents not only our brand’s steady growth but also the start of meaningful connections with the local communities we serve. Whether we’re cutting a ribbon or launching a ghost kitchen to reach new neighborhoods, our mission is the same: great barbecue and genuine hospitality for every guest.”
Dickey’s flexible restaurant model is on full display with these new openings. The brand is not only expanding traditional dine-in locations but also leveraging ghost kitchens to deliver its flavors to new markets quickly and efficiently.
“Our expansion strategy is built on two pillars: growth and community,” said Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Capital Group. “We’re not just opening restaurants; we’re creating local gathering spots, supporting area events, and partnering with organizations that strengthen the neighborhoods we join. Our ghost kitchens also allow us to serve markets faster than ever, ensuring more people can enjoy Dickey’s barbecue.”
Community involvement remains at the heart of Dickey’s operations. Each new location is committed to supporting local first responders, charities, and neighborhood events, ensuring that franchisees contribute more than just delicious barbecue to their communities.
As the brand celebrates its July openings, guests are invited to savor Dickey’s legendary smoked brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and classic Southern sides. With a growing portfolio of innovative service models, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is poised for continued success in the competitive restaurant landscape.
