Brothers Steve and Tim Earley along with their father Paul are longtime Mississippians, as their family has lived in The Magnolia State for over 40 years. The brothers first discovered Dickey's in Meridian, Mississippi and loved the authentic, slow-smoked flavor. Eventually they decided to go into business together to own and operate their own location, and this week they open their fourth store. "After opening other Dickey's stores in the neighboring towns of Richland, Madison and Flowood several Brandon residents asked us to open another location in their city," says owner/operator Steve Earley. "After looking and talking to other restaurant owners, we felt that Brandon would be an ideal place for a Dickey's."

The new Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Brandon is located at: 1323 W Government St., Brandon, MS 39042. The phone number is 769-241-5151. Find Dickey's on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
