Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Opens its Second Location in Pakistan

— July 29, 2022 — Business
The world's largest barbecue concept, Dickey's Barbecue Pit, continues to expand its global footprint with its second location in Pakistan. The brand is beloved for its slow-smoked meats and Texas-style barbeque foods. Dickey's restaurant in Lahore is the second one to open under a Master Agreement with Mazhar Zaidi. Zaidi plans to open 20 Dickey’s restaurants total in the next 10 years and is targeting further development in all major Pakistani cities.

“Eating meat frequently is part of Pakistani culture, so Dickey’s one-of-a-kind, slow-smoked barbecue fulfills a need, and the brand can stand out as a market leader. Our first Dickey’s restaurant was a huge success, and we’re proud to open another and serve the best barbecue around to more Pakistanis," Zaidi said.
