Danny DeMarco’s experience at a local butcher shop and a career as a food and beverage director make him the perfect person to run a barbecue joint. On Thursday, November 13 at 11 a.m., DeMarco will open the first Dickeys Barbecue Pit in Fullerton with a three-day grand opening celebration.

The festivities kick off with the first 50 guests receiving gift cards worth up to $50.

“Dickey’s Barbecue offers a franchise with potential for growth and a large support team which is what I was looking for in my next career,” said first time owner, Danny DeMarco. “Fullerton is a growing community that’s striving for new food options, making it the perfect place to open a Texas-style barbecue restaurant.”

On Friday, guests can grab Dickeys Barbecue gear with all-day merchandise giveaways. On Saturday, radio station K-EARTH 101 will be on-site from noon to 2 p.m. One lucky winner will be chosen for a $500 gift card and three winners receive free barbecue for an entire year. Guests can feed their barbecue cravings with $2 pulled pork barbecue sandwiches.

DeMarco holds a hospitality degree from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. The new Dickeys Barbecue Pit in Fullerton is located in the Amerige Heights Town Center at 1941 West Malvern Avenue, Space Q and the phone number is 714.451.4620.
