“The Lawrence community is perfect for slow smoked Texas barbecue. There is nothing close to what Dickey’s Barbecue offers and people deserve to know what exquisite barbecue tastes like,” said first time franchise owner, Carline Jefferson. “We were considering several franchise opportunities, but ultimately decided on Dickey’s Barbecue Pit because of the great food, proven success and low franchise fee.”
Jefferson spent the last 15 years working in finance before deciding to pursue owning her own business. Sigue will continue to cultivate his more than 20 years of restaurant experience. The new Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Lawrence is located at 305 Rockaway Turnpike and the phone number is 516.239.2410. Keep up with this location on Facebook.
