NAI Robert Lynn landed a lease renewal for Dickey’s Capital Group, a Dallas-based holding company for international barbecue chain Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. Dickey’s renewed a long-term lease on its corporate headquarters in the vibrant Knox-Henderson district, which is positioned across the highway from Dickey’s original 1941 location.
“NAI Robert Lynn was thrilled we could keep Dickey’s in the area where they started,” said NAI Robert Lynn executive vice president, Justin Utay, who represented Dickey’s in the deal. “In 1941, Travis Dickey, a World War II veteran, opened the first Dickey’s Barbecue in Dallas, and fast-forward nearly 80 years, and they’re continuing to serve the Dallas metroplex and millions of other customers around the world. Nothing beats their authentic, slow-smoked barbecue, and we’re glad they’re operating in a great, familiar location right in the heart of Dallas.”
Dickey’s, the largest barbecue franchise in the world, has been at its corporate headquarters since April 2000, occupying a full floor and over 11,025 square feet of office space. Despite challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dickey’s has reported positive same-store sales for May, July, August, September and October. The fast-casual concept, which offers a variety of slow-smoked meats and wholesome sides, has two international locations in the United Arab Emirates and is on track to open other overseas locations later this year in Brazil, Pakistan and Egypt.
“We’re proud to be Texas born and bred and thanks to NAI Robert Lynn, our employees, who work tirelessly to serve our owner operators and guests, can look forward to making more memories in an office that has been home for many years,” said Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Capital Group.
