What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Dickeys Barbecue Pit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Dickeys Barbecue Pit franchises operating in Maine at the end of the 2024 fiscal year, which ended May 31, 2024. The state had one franchise location at the start of 2022, which ceased operations for other reasons, resulting in zero franchises by the end of 2022. There were no openings or closures in 2023 or 2024.
This indicates that Maine may not be a strong market for Dickeys Barbecue Pit, or that the brand has not yet found the right franchisee or location to succeed in the state. A prospective franchisee should carefully consider the reasons for the previous closure and evaluate the market conditions in Maine before investing in a Dickeys Barbecue Pit franchise.
It is important to note that this data reflects the status as of May 31, 2024. While the document is dated August 2024, the data on franchise locations is not current to that date. A potential franchisee should inquire whether any franchises have opened or closed in Maine since May 31, 2024, to get the most up-to-date information.
