Roland Dickey Attends Grand Openings of Two New Dickey’s in Tuscaloosa

(Wichita, KS) The biggest city in Kansas is getting the Texas-style barbecue they’ve been missing when Dickey’s Barbecue Pit opens on Thursday, October 30 at 11 a.m. Kansas resident, Ryan Wenrich is hosting a three day grand opening in honor of his fourth location. The barbecue bash kicks off with the first 50 guests receiving gift cards worth up to $50.

“My first location was so popular that I knew I needed to open more locations,” said multi-unit owner, Ryan Wenrich. “You just can’t find another franchise at the same value as Dickey’s Barbecue Pit which is one of the many reasons I continue to open new locations – it’s an exciting business.”

On Friday, guests can pick up merchandise giveaways including t-shirts, sunglasses and more.  On Saturday, radio station 102.1 The Bull will be on-site from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. when one lucky winner will be chosen for a $500 gift card and three winners receive free barbecue for an entire year. The new location will be serving $2 pulled pork barbecue sandwiches during the event.
