A Family\u2019s Journey from Humble Beginnings to Transforming Ontario\u2019s Barbecue Scene<\/em><\/p>\n

Toronto, Ontario, Oct. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dickey\u2019s Barbecue Pit<\/a>, the world\u2019s largest barbecue concept, is excited to announce a development deal with Hayder Smokey Barbecue, bringing Legit. Texas. Barbecue.™\u00a0 to Ontario, Canada. This partnership, led by Ibrahim Daniyal, President of Hayder Smokey Barbecue, along with Shyan Hayder, Shahrez Hayder, Jibreel Adnan, and Hamza Hayder marks a significant expansion for Dickey\u2019s into the Canadian market with plans for multiple locations.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim Daniyal is the embodiment of the “Canadian Dream.” Immigrating to Canada from Pakistan in 2001 with his wife and two children, Ibrahim arrived with less than $200 in his pocket. Despite the immense challenges, he worked tirelessly to support his family by studying during the day and working odd jobs at night, including driving a taxi and working for free at financial institutions through a co-op program. His wife, Samina, helped by opening a beauty salon as a street vendor in downtown Toronto.<\/p>\n

Now, alongside his sons Shyan and Shahrez Hayder, his brother Jibreel Adnan and nephew Hamza Hayder, Ibrahim is set to increase Dickey\u2019s Barbecue Pit deeper into Ontario and also with locations planned across major cities such as Ottawa, Kingston, London, St. Thomas, Chatham, and Windsor. <\/p>\n

“Canada is a mosaic of more than 450 cultures and over 200 languages,” Ibrahim explained. “Our cuisine reflects this diversity, and I want to introduce Canadians to Dickey\u2019s Texas-style barbecue, including halal options, that resonates with local and global flavors.”<\/p>\n

The partnership\u2019s primary focus is to introduce Dickey\u2019s barbecue concept in a way that honors the local culture while upholding the traditions that make Dickey\u2019s beloved. “The way Dickey\u2019s prepares its barbecue is hygienic, respectful of tradition, and embodies family values. That\u2019s what inspired me,” said Ibrahim. “It\u2019s about introducing a new, exciting flavor to the Canadian palate while ensuring we remain true to our cultural values.”<\/p>\n

This expansion is poised to fill a gap in Ontario\u2019s fast-casual dining scene. “There\u2019s a need for organized, franchised food concepts<\/a> in cities like Ottawa and Windsor,” Ibrahim said. “Dickey\u2019s brings the legitimacy of a Texas-born brand that Canadians are already excited about. We plan to grow rapidly over the next decade, creating a family-oriented, inclusive dining experience that Canadians from all backgrounds can enjoy.”<\/p>\n

The Hayder Smokey Barbecue team each bring unique expertise to the family\u2019s business operation. Shyan\u2019s experience in organization and customer service, along with Shahrez, Jibreel and Hamza\u2019s management and real estate backgrounds, make this a powerful family-run operation. “We have structured our management team in a way that maximizes each member’s expertise, ensuring that our customers always come first and that we uphold the values of integrity and excellence,” Ibrahim said.<\/p>\n

Laura Rea Dickey<\/a>, CEO of Dickey\u2019s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc., expressed her excitement about the partnership. “The Hayder family brings such an inspiring story and deep commitment to both business and community. We\u2019re thrilled to welcome them to the Dickey\u2019s family and can\u2019t wait to see their success in Ontario.”<\/p>\n

Adding his thoughts, Roland Dickey Jr<\/a>., CEO of Dickey\u2019s Capital Group, shared, “Expanding more into Ontario is a major milestone for us. Ibrahim, Shyan, Shahrez, and Jibreel are the perfect partners to help us bring authentic Texas barbecue to Canada. Their family\u2019s story of hard work, perseverance, and success aligns with our core values, and we believe this partnership is just the beginning of something great.”<\/p>\n

The development deal is expected to bring 32 Dickey\u2019s Barbecue Pit locations to Ontario, establishing the brand as a leader in the province’s diverse and rapidly growing food scene.<\/p>\n
