LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Littleton just got a whole lot smokier. The new Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Littleton, Colorado is officially open, and the team is kicking things off the way barbecue should be celebrated. With community. With generosity. And with plenty of good food. On Saturday, December 13, guests are invited to join an all day Grand Opening celebration that brings together great meals, great deals, and a great cause.

And here is the part that matters most. With every rack, sandwich, and side sold, Dickey’s will donate $2 to the Chatfield Youth Football Association. There is no extra fee. No special code. Just neighbors supporting neighbors through the simple act of sharing a meal.

A Community First Kickoff

“We could not be more excited to open our doors in Littleton,” said Bobby Rusnak, franchisee of the new location. “This community shows up for each other. Supporting the Chatfield Youth Football Association felt like the perfect way to show that we intend to show up too.
