Longtime Franchisee Bobby Rusnak Brings Authentic Texas Style Barbecue to South Wadsworth Blvd


The restaurant will be owned and operated by longtime Dickey’s franchisee Bobby Rusnak, who has been serving Colorado communities for years. Rusnak shared his excitement, saying, “Colorado loves great barbecue, and I am thrilled to bring another Dickey’s Barbecue Pit to Littleton. Our guests can always count on us for authentic Texas style barbecue, friendly service, and the kind of comfort food that makes you feel at home.”

Our mission has always been to share the joy of barbecue with as many people as possible, and this opening is another step in fulfilling that promise.”
Rusnak echoed that mission by highlighting the guest experience. “When people come to Dickey’s, it is not just about the food, it is about the experience. We want families in Littleton to feel like they have found a second home.”
Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Capital Group, celebrated the brand’s growth in Colorado. “We are thrilled to see the Dickey’s footprint continue to grow in Littleton under Bobby’s leadership.
