Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, the largest barbecue franchise in the world, announced its partnership with the Swinder Group to open its first location in Cairo, Egypt. Swinder purchased their first Dickey’s Barbecue Pit franchise in 2019 but were unable to open due to the COVID–19 pandemic. The Cairo restaurant is now set to open in early December 2021.
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit has been in operation for 80 years and remains a privately held, third generation family-owned business with more than 500 locations across the United States. In 2019, Dickey’s opened their second international location in Dubai, after seeing great success with the first opening overseas in Abu Dhabi.
