“The flexibility offered in terms of various operational formats, including traditional stand-alone stores, virtual locations and food trucks, will allow us to flourish in this dynamic and ever-evolving industry. We’re excited to develop multiple locations in partnership with the experts in Texas-style barbecue over the next few years across the Suffolk County territory.”
“We’re thrilled to have Prosper Food join our family of brands,” said Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Capital Group.
