(Oahu, HI) Dickey’s Barbecue Pit has executed
a franchise agreement for a new location on Oahu. This is the second agreement
for Dickey’s in Hawaii, but the first for Oahu.
Dickey’s
Barbecue Pit is a 75-year-old, family owned and operated business with
locations in 44 states. “At Dickey’s, we take the family to family to family
approach,” says Dickey’s CEO Laura Rea Dickey. “The Dickey family partners with
other entrepreneurial families to serve barbecue to families across the nation.
We appreciate our hard working Owner/Operators and their families who make that
possible every day.”
A native of
Hawaii, Danny Mabalot, Jr. has partnered with Dickey’s to open the new Oahu
location within the next year. Mabalot got his start in the franchise business
with four Subway locations owned by his family, which were opened by his
father. Ten years ago he took over the business and is now expanding the family
portfolio with Dickey’s. “We hope to continue the family business with Dickey’s
and pass it down to the next generation just like my father did for my brother
and me,” Mabalot says. “When I researched other franchise concepts, Dickey’s
stuck out as better and different. I look forward to serving delicious barbecue
to my community in Oahu.”
At Dickey’s,
all meats are smoked
onsite daily for 12-14 hours using real hickory wood combined with passion for
the art of barbecue.
