Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is continuing its smoking-hot development streak across Canada as the iconic Texas-born brand announced its newest franchisee agreement in Ontario, Canada. With the great success of the grand opening of Dickey’s up north, the brand is confident in expanding its family dynasty across the country.
The barbecue concept signed two letters of intent on 1 November with separate entities to develop over 65 locations in total across the Greater Toronto and Niagara areas. The first location is scheduled to open in late December this year. Then throughout 2023, Dickey’s will also open locations in Calgary, Edmonton, Leduc and Ft. Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ottawa, Ontario, Sherbrook, and Quebec.
“We’re seeing unprecedented demand for our great Texas barbecue brand across Canada,” said Jim Perkins, Dickey’s Executive vice president of international development and support. “We look forward to bringing this great barbecue tradition from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the provinces in between. We’ve grown rapidly across the country and Canadians are quickly falling in love with our smoked meats and wholesome sides.”
Dickey’s continues to strengthen its international presence with over 550 barbecue restaurants, including in Brazil, Egypt, Japan, Pakistan, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates.
