Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Springboro launches 4 weeks of specials

Dickey's Barbecue Pit , which opened at 752 Gardner Road in Springboro three weeks ago, will launch a month of introductory special offers today with a giveaway of "free barbecue for a year" to three customers.

“Dickey’s Barbecue Pit always has been a family-run, family-oriented business and that is something we pride ourselves on,” Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc., said in a release. “Having experienced franchisees, such as the Daniel brothers, eager to open new locations is a testament not only to the success of our business, but the brand as a whole.”

Founded in 1941, Dickey’s bills itself as “the nation’s largest barbecue chain,” operating more than 550 locations in 45 states. The Dallas-based chain operates locations in Mason, South Lebanon and Amelia in southwest Ohio, and three in central Ohio north of Columbus.

It offers traditional Texas-style barbecue meats that are smoked in-house at each restaurant. In 2016, Dickey's won first place on a "Top 100 Movers and Shakers" list assembled by Fast Casual, a publication and web site that cover the fast-casual segment of the restaurant industry.

The Springboro restaurant's regular hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. For more information about the Springboro location, check out its Facebook page or call (937) 550-4826.
