LAS VEGAS, March 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- New Dickey's Barbecue Pit franchisee Kim Fewlass plans to open five Dickey's locations throughout Nevada with his wife and business partner, Susan.
The first of the five locations is slated to open in Spring 2018 in Las Vegas with another location following in Fall 2018. The final three locations will open in the coming years.
"At Dickey's Barbecue Pit, we pride ourselves on serving each and every guest authentic, Texas-style barbecue," says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. "With new franchisees such as Kim and Susan that truly love the brand, we can continue our growth and more importantly continue serving our guests delicious barbecue."
