New Dickey’s Is Smokin’ Hot in Scottsdale

Are you ready for a lip smackin’ foot stompin’ family friendly barbecue joint? Well get ready because Dickey’s Barbecue has a new location in Scottsdale.

“I wanted to bring great authentic barbecue with a family friendly environment to the area,” said local franchise owner Erik Forrest. “I’m excited about opening and becoming a part of this great community.”

Forrest has been in the restaurant industry for over 15 years. He worked as a chef in 5 star resorts and high-end restaurants for 10 years. Forrest hopes to open the new Dickey’s location in June.

“I chose Dickey’s because it has an impressive business model and great barbecue,” said Forrest. “I knew that if I was going to have a franchise that I needed to believe 100% in the business and the food.”

The new restaurant is located in South Scottsdale at 7919 E. Thomas Road Suite 111, near Coronado High School and about 5 miles south of Fashion Square Mall. Dickey’s has another location in Scottsdale at 7337 Shea Blvd. which is owned and operated by Mitch Bailey.
