On track to surpass 250 locations, Texas-based brand opens 106th Dallas-Fort Worth restaurant with fresh leadership
Golden Chick announced the opening of its newest location in Decatur, Texas today. The new Golden Chick is incorporated with the exciting new TA Travel Center at the intersection of US Hwy 287 and Bus. 81, offering its full menu with dine-in, drive-thru, takeout and delivery at the expanded daily operating hours of 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
At the helm of the new location is Nabil Elhorr, a first-time Golden Chick franchisee with a dedication on delivering quality food and customer service and creating community connections. With a fresh perspective and a drive to succeed, Elhorr is already proving to be a dynamic addition to the Golden Chick family.
“New franchisees like Nabil bring passion and a fresh perspective, which is extremely valuable for our brand as we continue to grow and evolve,” said Brian Loescher, president of Golden Chick Franchising. “This opening has been highly anticipated in Decatur, and we look forward to delivering on our promise of superior quality and being an active member of the community. We’re committed to making this restaurant a place people are proud of and are excited to welcome our new neighbors in.”
The new Decatur restaurant is the 106th Golden Chick in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, a monumental milestone for the brand that calls Richardson home. It is also the 13th opening so far in 2025, showcasing the brand’s dedication to continued growth across both new and existing trade areas.
While guests can stop by today to try Golden Chick’s tried and true offerings like Original Golden Tenders® and the Big & Golden® Chicken Sandwich, today also marks the launch of the brand’s newest menu creation: the Pimento Crunchwich Sandwich. Packing in flavor that you can taste and hear, the sandwich pairs Golden Chick’s beloved hand-breaded chicken with creamy pimento cheese spread, crunchy jalapeño crisps and new extra-thick, XL pickles, available now through August 3 a la carte for $5.99 or in a combo with a Southern-style side and 30-ounce drink for $8.99.
