Taking advantage of our QSR franchise opportunity means you’ll become part of our proud heritage and benefit from our decades of fast food experience.
The Beginning of Golden Chick
A former employee of another chicken franchise believed there had to be a better way to cook chicken and run a franchise system. Our founder saw an opportunity in a growing industry and Golden Fried Chicken was born of the desire to create delicious family-friendly meals that featured golden fried chicken and a franchise experience like no other. What started as one restaurant in central Texas in the late 60’s, grew to 39 chicken franchise locations by 1982, and in 1992 Golden Fried Chicken changed its name to Golden Chick. Our belief in the brand has allowed us to experience steady growth, with new restaurants opening throughout the region, bringing the chain-wide total today to over 210 stores, with over 20 new locations planned to open this year.
