Local Entrepreneurs Bring Dickey’s to La Marque, TX

(La Marque, TX) Local Dickey’s Barbecue Pit franchisees Dave and Lesa Covert plan to open their first Dickey’s location in La Marque in the coming weeks. 

“At Dickey’s, our franchisees are truly a part of the Dickey family,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We are thrilled to have Dave and Lesa join our family and help us grow the Dickey’s name in our home state of Texas.” 

The Coverts have been residents of Galveston County for over 20 years and look forward to opening their first restaurant in the place they call home. 

“After deciding to break into the restaurant industry, we did extensive research on which concept would work best for the two of us,” says Dave. “Dickey’s was the perfect fit because we love the food, the culture and look forward to bringing Dickey’s slow-smoked barbecue to the residents of our community.”
