SUNNYVALE, California , April 21, 2014 (press release) – Nation's Largest Barbecue Chain Hosts 3-Day Grand Opening Party

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 services 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.

The new Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Sunnyvale is located at 1255 S. Mary Avenue and the phone number is 408.733.RIBS (7427).
