Golden Chick’s Expansion into Tennessee
In Nashville, our growth is already underway as two new franchises are being developed in the greater metro area, with market potential for at least 10 more between now and 2030.
There are prime locations for a chicken franchise in Tennessee across the state in both rural and large markets. When it comes to starting a fried chicken franchise for Dine-In, Drive-Thru, or Delivery, Golden Chick is a well-positioned brand to capitalize on the growing demand for fried chicken that travels well and is a preferred choice among consumers.
Expanding beyond our humble origin in Texas, Golden Chick now boasts over 225 locations throughout the South and growing. The real Southern flavor consumers love is well suited to consumers in Tennessee, and our winning business model makes many communities prime opportunities to open new chicken restaurants.
