Dallas, March 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, the world largest barbecue brand, continues to team up with professional sports teams and players across the country to bring Legit. Texas. Barbecue to their hungry fans.
From professional athletes exploring franchise opportunities with the brand and surprise guest appearances to “The Pit”, to social media partnerships with NFL stars from around the league such as Jamaal Williams and Sam Williams, the historic brand continues to scout for opportunities to recruit the best partnerships in the game, while also serving winning barbecue across the world.
The barbecue brand’s latest collaboration with the New Orleans Pelicans is sure to have the crowd cheering. When the Pelicans score 100 points or more at any home game, Dickey’s will offer a FREE Pulled Pork Sandwich to game attendees who present their SeatGeek mobile ticket for redemption in store at participating locations in Jefferson, St. Bernard and St. Charles Parishes. This awesome, three-year partnership, that began in 2022, was secured by local, Dickey’s multi-store Owner/Operator Robert Dunning and has been a huge crowd pleaser this season. Beyond the 100-point promotion, Dickey’s has also become a big part of the Pelicans’ gameday atmosphere with in-game announcements, jumbotron graphics and courtside signage featuring the barbecue concept.
“Dickeys is thrilled to continue building relationships with amazing organizations and athletes across the county,” said Dickey’s CEO Laura Rea Dickey. “Sports and barbecue have always been an All-Star combination and we look forward to continuing our winning streak with deals that every sport and barbecue fan can enjoy. We’re extremely grateful for Dickey’s Owner/Operators like local New Orleans multi-unit franchisee Robert Dunning who was a crucial player in making this partnership a win.”
