There’s no better way to say “thank you” than with slow-smoked, authentic Southern barbecue, and Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is ready to deliver. As the world’s largest barbecue concept, Dickey’s is opening its doors nationwide this Veterans Day, November 11th, to proudly honor the men and women who have served our country.
If you are a veteran or active-duty military personnel, prepare for a seriously smoky treat: you are invited to enjoy a FREE Pulled Pork Sandwich at any Dickey’s location!
A Legacy Built on Service
For Dickey’s, this gesture isn’t just a holiday promotion – it’s built into the brand’s DNA. The entire company legacy started with service. Founder Travis Dickey opened the first pit in Dallas in 1941 after returning home from World War I. His commitment to hard work and community built a legacy that continues more than eight decades later.
“Veterans Day reminds us of the values he built this company on and we’re proud to honor those who have so selflessly served our nation,” said Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Capital Group.
The mission of gratitude lives on in every restaurant. As Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc., put it: “Serving our military isn’t just our privilege, it’s an honor that reminds us what true service really means.”
