Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Opens in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Dickeys welcomes its newest location to open in Sao Paulo, the country’s largest city, with a population of 12 million.

Owner Operators Bruno Gallucci and Cyro Pires Xavier are partners with a vast entrepreneurial background and have more than a decade of experience in restaurant operations and agricultural productions. The partners have full franchising rights for Brazil and are slated to open a total of 110 locations in Brazil. “We are very excited to show the people of Brazil the wonderful Texas Barbecue, this is unlike anything they have tried before” says Bruno Gallucci who adds that the food along with the location of the flagship restaurant are a recipe for success.

“We are located in the heart of the city with plenty of foot traffic and many businesses” says Gallucci who says the restaurant is off Paulista Avenue.

“We are so happy to welcome Bruno and Cyro to the Dickey’s family, they have a beautiful location and the public seems eager to try Legit. Texas. Barbecue.” Says Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Capital Group.

This location was expected to open a year ago but was postponed due to COVID-19. The owners are excited to open the doors to the multi-story location with a roof top bar. “We put so much effort into our flagship location we are really looking forward to showing it off and of course enjoying the delicious barbecue” adds Gallucci who is also giving away free dessert and ice cream the first few days to celebrate!
