New Owners Upgrade Dickey's
Husband-and-Wife Team Takes Over Camp Hill Dickey's, Plans Upgrades and Community Celebration
Anonymous
A husband-and-wife team has taken over Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, bringing new ownership and a wave of planned upgrades to the long-running franchise location. Marten and Nermin Abdou officially opened the doors under their ownership, according to Business Wire.
The Abdous say they are committed to keeping the restaurant's slow-smoked barbecue traditions alive while modernizing the guest experience. A community celebration featuring food and music is already in the works.
New Owners Complete Dickey's Barbecue University Training
Before opening, Marten and Nermin Abdou completed hands-on training at Dickey's Barbecue University, the chain's official franchise training program. The program prepares new owners to run the full operation, from smoking meats to managing a team. Business Wire reported the couple graduated from the program before taking over the Camp Hill location.
The training is a required step for all new Dickey's franchisees. It covers everything from pit-smoking techniques to customer service standards. The Abdous completed the full curriculum before serving their first guest.
Digital Displays and Equipment Upgrades Coming to the Location
The Abdous are not stopping at a simple ownership change. They plan to install new digital menu displays and upgrade kitchen equipment at the Camp Hill restaurant. According to Yahoo Finance, the upgrades are designed to create a smoother experience for both guests and staff.
The equipment improvements are meant to support faster service without cutting corners on quality. Slow-smoked Texas barbecue takes hours to prepare. The new gear is expected to help the kitchen keep pace with customer demand.
Community Celebration Planned to Welcome New Franchisees
The Abdous plan to host a public celebration to introduce themselves to the Camp Hill community. The event will feature food, live music, and a chance for guests to meet the new owners face to face. No official date has been announced yet, according to Business Wire.
The celebration is part of a broader effort to build a local connection. The couple sees community engagement as a key part of running a successful neighborhood restaurant. Fans of the location are encouraged to watch for announcements on the event's timing.
Slow-Smoked Traditions Stay at the Heart of the Menu
Despite the changes, the Abdous have made clear that Dickey's signature barbecue style is not going anywhere. The restaurant will continue serving authentic, slow-cooked meats prepared using the same techniques the chain has used for decades. Yahoo Finance noted the new owners are focused on preserving that tradition.
Dickey's Barbecue Pit was founded in Dallas in 1941. The chain has grown to hundreds of locations across the country. The Camp Hill location joins that network under fresh, locally invested ownership.
