Chicago — Dickey’s Barbecue Pit unveiled its first virtual kitchen on Oct. 30 in Chicago. This model, which services guests solely through online ordering and third-party delivery, is the first of its kind to open for the Texas-based, family-owned franchise.
Barbecue fans in the surrounding 10-mile area can get their Dickey’s fix by ordering delivery directly to their doorstep through www.dickeys.com or the Dickey’s app.
“As an industry leader we are continually adapting our restaurant models to fit the needs of both the economic climate and the fluctuations of guest behavior and with states such as Illinois cautiously suspending indoor dining operations once again, the opening of our first virtual kitchen could not be more timely,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc.
This is Dickey’s fifth Illinois location and the second to open in the Chicago area.
Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. was founded in 1941 by Travis Dickey. The fast-casual concept has expanded worldwide with two international locations in the UAE and operates over 500 locations in 44 states. For more information, visit www.dickeys.com.
