Daniel Georgis Opens New Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Sunnyvale

(Sunnyvale, CA) What do the Bay Area and slow smoked Texas barbecue have in common?  On Thursday, April 24 at 11:00a.m., Daniel Georgis will open the newest Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in California with a three-day grand opening celebration.  The first 50 guests at the Sunnyvale location will receive a gift card for up to $50.

“I decided to get in to the barbecue business after tasting the food,” said Georgis.  “I think Sunnyvale is an ideal location for the Dickey’s Barbecue Pit concept. It has a diverse community and is home to many industrial, social media, technological and financial corporations.  I see a great need for good Texas-style barbecue not only with the family atmosphere in the restaurant, but also with the many catering sevices they offer.”

Friday, radio station 95.3 KRTY will be onsite from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and this location will be serving $2 pulled pork barbecue sandwiches.  Also, one lucky winner will be chosen for a $500 gift card. Saturday, Dickey’s Barbecue will be offering all day merchandise giveaways.
