Growth & Expansion
These profitable stores already show strong performance with consistent cash flow, but significant upside remains untapped: Operational Synergies: As a bundled multi-unit package, buyers can implement shared management, centralized purchasing, cross-training staff, and unified marketing to reduce costs and boost efficiency (potential 10-20% overhead savings). Catering and Events: Expand the existing catering programs (both locations offer robust catering via Dickey's platform). Target corporate events, weddings, schools, and local festivals in the Lake Charles area, which hosts events like Smoke & Barrel (bourbon/BBQ festival) and Fire on the Lake. Delivery and Digital: Leverage growing third-party delivery demand and Dickey's online/app ordering to increase off-premise sales (currently a high-margin driver). Marketing and Promotions: Enhance local SEO, social media, loyalty programs, and community involvement (school fundraisers, partnerships) to drive foot traffic and repeat business. Regional Market Tailwinds: Southwest Louisiana (Calcasieu Parish) shows positive domestic migration and economic recovery trends, with population growth in recent years and a rebounding economy tied to energy, tourism, and events. BBQ demand remains high in this region, with room to capture more market share through operational improvements. These locations offer a solid foundation for an owner-operator or investor group to scale to additional units or optimize for higher profitability.

Facilities & Assets
This turnkey multi-unit opportunity includes two fully equipped, high-traffic Dickey's Barbecue Pit locations in prime Southwest Louisiana spots: Lake Charles Location: 1736 W Prien Lake Rd, Lake Charles, LA 70601. Strategically positioned near major roads and attractions (close to Prien Lake and casinos/hotels), with excellent visibility and accessibility for drive-thru, takeout, and dine-in traffic. Moss Bluff Location: 227 US-171, Lake Charles, LA 70611 (Moss Bluff area). Situated along a busy highway corridor (US-171), serving local residents, commuters, and travelers in the growing Moss Bluff/Lake Charles North corridor. Both facilities feature: Commercial-grade hickory smokers and slow-smoking pits for on-site daily meat preparation (core to the Dickey's brand). Fully outfitted commercial kitchens with grills, fryers, refrigeration, prep stations, and ventilation systems. Modern POS systems integrated with online ordering, delivery apps (DoorDash, Uber Eats), and the Dickey's app. Spacious dining areas with seating, plus drive-thru lanes for quick-service convenience. Indoor/outdoor signage, branded decor, and Big Yellow Cup merchandising. Ample parking and easy ingress/egress. All FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) is included and in good working condition. Estimated replacement value: $200,000 to $350,000 combined (buyers can verify via inspection).
Market & Competition
The greater Lake Charles area (including Moss Bluff) is a strong BBQ market in Southwest Louisiana, benefiting from: A population base of over 200,000 in Calcasieu Parish, with steady domestic in-migration and economic activity from energy, gaming/tourism (casinos like Golden Nugget nearby), and events. High demand for casual, affordable, family-friendly dining. Texas-style BBQ fits perfectly as comfort food in this region. Proven brand strength: Dickey's is one of the few national BBQ chains with a presence here (only two locations in the Lake Charles area, both owned by the seller), providing built-in recognition and corporate support (marketing, vendors, systems). Competition includes local independents (Paul's Rib Shack and others) and regional spots, but few offer the same consistent quality, national branding, drive-thru convenience, and catering scale as Dickey's. Limited direct national chain competition in BBQ creates a defensible position. The bundled package covers complementary trade areas (urban Lake Charles vs. highway-accessible Moss Bluff), reducing overlap while maximizing coverage in a growing market with BBQ-loving demographics.
