Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is beginning a new chapter in Northern Colorado as local resident Jason Hubbard takes ownership of the brand’s Fort Collins and Greeley restaurants. Hubbard, a father of eight with deep regional ties, is transitioning into the role of Franchise Owner following a career in the aerospace industry.
From Aerospace to Community Barbecue
Hubbard plans to apply his professional background and supply chain expertise from the aerospace sector to the operations at 2721 S. College Ave in Fort Collins and 6628 W. 10th Street in Greeley. His move into franchise ownership was motivated by a goal to foster community connections and provide a welcoming environment for local families.
“Barbecue is about more than just great food; it’s about bringing people together,” said Jason Hubbard. “As a father of eight, I know the importance of a community space where families can gather. I’m excited to apply my professional background to these locations and serve the Fort Collins and Greeley communities with the same dedication I give to my family.”
Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc., noted the value of having local operators at the helm. “We are a family business and we are strongest when our restaurants are led by Owner Operators who are deeply rooted in their communities,” she said. “Jason’s commitment to his family and his neighbors reflects the hospitality and care our brand was built on.”
Guest Appreciation Events and Specials
To celebrate the transition, both locations will host Guest Appreciation Events. The Greeley celebration is scheduled for Saturday, January 31, through Sunday, February 1, followed by the Fort Collins event on Saturday, February 7, through Sunday, February 8.
During these weekends, guests can take advantage of several in-store specials, including:
-
$4.99 Pulled Pork Sandwiches
-
Buy One, Get One FREE 2-Meat Plate (with the purchase of two Big Yellow Cups)
-
Buy One Sandwich Combo, Get One 1/2 Off
-
FREE Big Yellow Cup (with the purchase of a Brisket Sandwich)
Hubbard and his team invite both longtime patrons and new visitors to join these upcoming events to mark the start of this new phase for the local barbecue community.
