Rare opportunity to acquire two profitable, well-established Dickey's Barbecue Pit franchises in Louisiana, offered together as a seamless multi-unit package. These locations are currently cash-flow positive with solid owner benefits, driven by loyal local customers, strong catering programs, drive-thru/takeout traffic, and integrated online/delivery ordering. Dickey's is a proven national brand (550+ locations) famous for slow-smoked Texas-style meats-brisket, ribs, pulled pork, sausage-plus homestyle sides, all prepared fresh daily with hickory wood. Franchisees benefit from brand marketing, vendor deals, operational systems, and ongoing corporate support.

- Facilities & Assets
- Commercial-grade hickory smokers and slow-smoking pits for on-site meat prep. Fully outfitted commercial kitchens with grills, fryers, refrigeration, prep stations, and ventilation. Modern POS systems integrated with online ordering, delivery apps (DoorDash, Uber Eats), and Dickey's app. Spacious dining areas with seating, plus drive-thru lanes. Indoor/outdoor signage, branded decor. Ample parking and easy access. All FF&E included and in great condition. Estimated replacement value: $200,000–$350,000 (buyers verify via inspection).
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Greater Lake Charles area (incl. Moss Bluff) is a strong BBQ market in SW Louisiana: >200K pop in Calcasieu Parish, steady in-migration + energy, gaming/tourism (Golden Nugget nearby), events. High demand for casual, affordable, family-friendly dining. Texas-style BBQ fits as ideal comfort food. Dickey's has proven strength as one of few national chains here (only 2 locations, both seller-owned), with brand recognition + corporate support (marketing, vendors, systems). Competition: local independents (Paul's Rib Shack etc.) & regionals, but few match Dickey's consistency, national branding, drive-thru, catering. Limited national BBQ rivals create defensible position. Bundled package covers complementary trade areas (urban Lake Charles vs. highway Moss Bluff), reducing overlap in growing, BBQ-loving market.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Profitable Dickey's stores with strong cash flow + untapped upside: Multi-unit synergies - shared mgmt, bulk purchasing, cross-training, unified marketing (10-20% overhead savings). Expand Dickey's catering for corporate events, weddings, schools, festivals (Smoke & Barrel, Fire on the Lake). Grow high-margin off-premise via delivery apps + online/app orders. Boost local SEO, social, loyalty, community ties for traffic/repeats. Calcasieu Parish gains from migration, energy/tourism rebound, high BBQ demand - strong potential to gain share. Ideal for owner-operator or investors to optimize or scale.
