Port Arthur may have given us Janis Joplin, but now it’s getting another Texas original, Golden Chick. Today, the rapidly expanding Texas-based chicken brand is celebrating yet another major milestone with the opening of its newest restaurant in Port Arthur. Now open at 3380 FM-365 W, directly across from Central Mall, the restaurant marks the brand’s 17th new location of 2025, further solidifying Golden Chick’s footprint in Southeast Texas and pushing it even closer to its highly anticipated 250th location.
The Port Arthur location will be operated by brothers Karan and Raj Korpal, seasoned franchisees who also own successful Golden Chick locations in nearby Beaumont and Orange. Their familiarity with the region and commitment to quality make them the perfect duo to grow the brand’s loyal following in this vibrant Gulf Coast community.
“This opening reflects our intentional, steady growth in regional markets where we know the brand resonates,” said Brian Loescher, President of Golden Chick Franchising. “It’s the third location in the Beaumont-Port Arthur area alone, and another strong step in our plan to build density and demand through thoughtful expansion. Karan and Raj have a great track record of bringing Golden Chick to life with consistency and care.”
In addition to its beloved lineup of Original Golden Tenders®, southern-style sides, spicy Wicked Wings, Golden Roast Chicken, hand-breaded catfish and the Big & Golden® Chicken Sandwich, the Port Arthur location will also offer daily breakfast service. Available from 6:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., the breakfast menu features guest favorites like the Honey Butter Tender Roll, sweet and savory perfection, and the Cluckito™ breakfast burrito, stuffed with crispy chicken, hash browns, a three-cheese blend and a drizzle of bold Lotta Zing® sauce.
Operating hours for the Port Arthur Golden Chick are 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily, giving guests plenty of time to stop by for breakfast, lunch, dinner or anything in between.
