Foothill
Ranch, CA � October 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / Dickey�s
Barbecue Pit continues to grow throughout California, with an increased
store count that is second only behind its home state of Texas. The first
of four new stores will open in Spring 2017 in Foothill Ranch. Two in Irvine
and one in Mission Viejo are to follow. The four new locations are included
in a development agreement between Dickey�s and new franchisee Scott Cole.
�We
congratulate Scott Cole on his four-store development agreement,� says
Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Dickey�s Barbecue Pit. �We are growing rapidly
in California, and we are very proud to continue opening new locations
to serve Texas-style barbecue to the people of California.�
Scott
Cole has called Orange County home his entire life. While spending the
beginning of his professional career in business development, he decided
it was time to have a business of his own. Born and raised in California,
the people, food and culture of the Golden State is nothing new to him
so when it came time to start a business he knew that the restaurant industry
was the way to go. Cole, along with his wife Susan were eager to start
out on a new adventure by opening their own franchise together. After doing
extensive research, the Coles found a home with Dickey�s Barbecue. �I researched
a variety of brands and chose Dickey�s because I just love the food,� says
Cole. �Now I look forward to becoming a part of the Dickey�s family and
serving great barbecue to my community.�
Among
his love for Dickey�s authentic slow-smoked Texas barbecue, Cole saw that
there was a void in the market for a fast casual barbecue restaurant. �In
Texas, there is a barbecue place on every corner, and we just don�t have
that here,� says Cole.
