Who’s Who... in East County

World’s Largest Barbecue Franchise Opens New Location in Brentwood!

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit opened its newest restaurant in Brentwood on Friday, January 25. Multi-unit owners Damon and Shantel Owens are excited to be serving authentic pit smoked barbecue to another city in California.

“We feel truly blessed that we are able to own our own restaurant during these tough economic times,” said multi-unit owner Damon Owens. “We opened our first Dickey’s location in Concord, about one year ago and despite the economy, we are doing quite well. We are excited to have the opportunity to bring quality hickory smoked meats to East Contra Costa County in beautiful Brentwood.” The couple also owns and operates the Dickey’s Barbecue in Concord, off of Ygnacio Valley Road. “Dickey’s will be a place where families can enjoy great food, without breaking the bank,” said owner Damon Owens. “We’re looking forward to partnering with local community organizations, churches and schools for fundraising opportunities as well.”

Dickey’s offers tender beef brisket that is smoked to perfection every night.

Dickey’s has everything from fried okra to mac & cheese, so there truly is something for everyone.

About Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants Dickey’s Barbecue was founded by Travis Dickey with the goal of authentic slow smoked barbecue. More than 70 years later, the Dallas-based family run barbecue franchise still offers a quality selection of signature meats, home style sides, tangy barbecue sauce and free kids meals every Sunday. All meats are slow smoked on site in each restaurant. The fast-casual family-friendly concept has expanded to over 280 locations in 43 states and holds the title of the world’s largest barbecue franchise. “Slow Smoked… Served Fast”

ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE

Vera Ortega-Spruill Ronnisue Servantez

The CEO Most people make resolutions to change at the beginning of a New Year. But I often find myself contemplating change in the spring. I’m looking forward to the sunshine and wonderful weather of East County and to seeing our residents out and about again. The beautiful colors of nature will be all around us and the long sleeves and umbrellas will disappear with the rain.

If you really think about it, Spring is a time for renewal. You may find that you need to spruce up your yard, maybe try some new plants or landscaping. With the sun peeking through the clouds you may realize that your home could use a coat of paint. It might be time to do something different with your hair, or get your teeth whitened. If you need your taxes done or financial advice, we’ve got that too. We are pleased to tell you that the pages of The Monthly Grapevine are filled with many solutions to help you take care of your needs affordably so you can “spring” into a new season!

And it’s simple! Use the colored tabs to easily locate the related section and open to find a plethora of experts in their field.

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

was born. It is her joy and passion to help businesses, just like her Dad.

Business of the Year

“Our magazine is unique and local.”

Daughter and CEO, Sonya North, brings a vast amount of dedication and knowledge to help the community grow and prosper by partnering with our customers. “It’s where our heart is,” she tells us, with honesty and pride. Last year, Mom and Dad stepped back from the operation to spend more time with the family and the transition has been remarkable.

It is about 7:00 am and Cupid is nine days away from launching those infamous Valentine’s Day love arrows. The air is still, the sun is shining and the fog bank is lurking over the top of Mt. Diablo. My assignment this month comes to you from this wonderful place I call home, wrapped in love for dear friends and their endless journey to deliver quality service, results-oriented marketing and advertising designed to meet their clients objectives. I proudly present, the Monthly Grapevine.

In 1994, two decades ago, the first 12 pages of Monthly Grapevine was born in home of Karen Spann, co-owner of our magazine. Her husband and business partner Jim, took a leave from his job at Lawrence Livermore Lab to sell ads for the first addition. Karen’s love of publishing began when her grandfather brought her to his work, the Modesto Bee. After watching the paper zipping through the press, well, our publisher

I ask you to take a moment to visit our entire issue, enjoying the fresh quality ads, informing articles and artistic graphic design delivering a crisp, new magazine to 64,170 homes & businesses every month and over 60 businesses drop locations.

My favorite part is the cover, because it’s always so pretty. I can leave it out all month while utilizing its coupons and calendar of events updates from our local community and non-profit organizations.

Now, go to the web, and join me as we visit the bigger world of the Monthly Grapevine. Click on Digital Magazine, CoCoCoupons, Digital Signage and, finally, Get Started Now! You will witness our magazine in it’s entirety appear before your eyes, while easy to manipulate between pages and articles. Coupons are

easy to print and there are plenty of them.

We have also partnered with Harvest Park Bowl, where 34 screens deliver high quality ads to over 10,000 viewers per month. And finally, click Get Started to see all that we do to bring you the best quality magazine and award winning results for your business.

I have been writing this snoop since 1997.

In those years, I have been able to visit local businesses and write about their entrepreneurial passion to be part of our economic structure. I have watched this community grow from 7,000 to over 50,000, enjoying the entire journey along the way. The Monthly Grapevine has continued to bring this family’s love to print, showcasing those incredible businesses who have withstood the test of recession, big box growth and our recent downturn in the economy while never losing sight of what our readers need and want for a local magazine. To this, my friends, I give you 20 gold ribbons for the 20 years you have dedicated your time, love and financial support to our community; it has been a pleasure to be part of the journey. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

One of the most important, immediate actions we can take as a nation to protect children and adults in motor vehicles is high-visibility enforcement of seat belt and child passenger safety laws. The American public knows they should buckle up.

Despite this awareness, research shows that many are not taking the necessary steps to protect themselves and their children on every ride. We know that enforcing the law is the most effective way to change this behavior. That is why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Air Bag & Seat Belt Safety Campaign launch the Click It or Ticket Mobilization, a high visibility enforcement campaign that targets motorists who fail to buckle themselves and their children.
