FORT COLLINS & GREELEY, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Northern Colorado resident Jason Hubbard has acquired two local Dickey’s Barbecue Pit locations, bringing new ownership to the Fort Collins and Greeley communities as he makes a career shift from aerospace industry to barbecue.

I’m excited to apply my professional background to these locations and serve the Fort Collins and Greeley communities with the same dedication I give to my family."

"We are a family business and we are strongest when our restaurants are led by Owner Operators who are deeply rooted in their communities," said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. " Jason’s commitment to his family and his neighbors reflects the hospitality and care our brand was built on."

To celebrate the new ownership, the Greeley location will host a Guest Appreciation Event on Saturday, January 31 to Sunday, February 1, and the Fort Collins location on Saturday, February 7 to Sunday, February 8, both offering in-store specials on those days including:
