Golden Chick Partners with Fletcher’s Original Corny Dogs to Bring a Favorite to the Community!

Anyone who has enjoyed the sights and sounds of the Texas State Fair knows how special this traditional yearly event is, and how it’s often the only chance to enjoy meals and snacks that aren’t usually available. Over the years, tens of thousands of fair-goers have happily stood in line (sometimes for hours!) to taste the iconic goodness of a Fletcher’s Original Corny Dog, a long-time fair favorite that’s unavailable anywhere else. In fact, Fletcher’s sells an average of 500,000 Corny Dogs during the annual fair season! 

But what happens in a year like this year, when sadly, there is no fair due to the COVID-19 pandemic? Anyone looking forward to a Fletcher’s treat might likely have to wait until next year – that is, unless they visit a Golden Chick restaurant! That’s right — Golden Chick, an iconic brand in our own right, has partnered with Fletcher’s Original Corny Dog to bring Fletcher’s delicious Corny Dogs to many of our restaurants, and we couldn’t be more excited. From now until October 25th, we’ll be serving Fletcher’s Original Corny Dogs at 187 Golden Chick restaurants throughout Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.

“Like many others, we were disappointed to hear that the State Fair was cancelled, and after the year we’ve had, we could all use a little comfort food,” said Jim Stevens, President of Golden Chick. “While we always serve Original Golden Tenders, Fletcher’s is the creator of the Original Corny Dog, and what better way to make the two fan favorites widely available than to serve them both at our restaurants and in our drive-thrus.”

The teams at both brands couldn’t be happier about the partnership and are working side by side to make sure Golden Chick guests can enjoy the same hand-battered, made-to-order Fletcher’s product they’d otherwise indulge in at the State Fair. 

“Fletcher’s Original Corny Dogs at the State Fair of Texas has been a time-honored tradition for millions of Texans since 1942,” said Aaron Fletcher on behalf of the Fletcher family. “We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Golden Chick.” 

“We each have a presence at the annual State Fair of Texas and over 50 years of service in the Lone Star State, so the partnership makes perfect sense,” continued Stevens.

The Golden Chick brand has always been about being part of the communities we serve and bringing wholesome, delicious, and affordable menu items to young and old alike. We’re excited about our limited-time partnership with a brand that shares those values and will be hosting socially-distanced community events and give-back initiatives during the weeks ahead.

Your Grand Opening and Beyond

 
Whether you signed your franchise agreement and paid your initial franchise fee at Discovery Day or sometime soon after, we can now get started with the process of making your Golden Chick restaurant a reality.
There’s a lot involved in opening a Golden Chick restaurant. Our decades of experience give us unique insight into the steps of the process and we’re able to guide our franchisees through every step, including but not limited to:
 

  • Site selection utilizing our analytical tools to identify targeted areas that have a strong presence for a Golden Chick customer base
  • Identifying viable locations
  • Providing you with a set of Prototypical plans ready to be modified for local codes
  • An approved list of fixtures, furnishings, and equipment vendors
  • Providing a list of pre-approved engineers, architects and contractors that can assist in securing the necessary permits and permissions required to build or remodel your Golden Chick location, locally
  • Initial pre-opening training and opening support

 
These are just a few of the ways we simplify the process to assist you to achieve a successful Golden Chick restaurant opening.
 
Then, we’ll continue to work with you as your business grows, providing you with ongoing training and guidance.

Discovery Day

 
You will be invited to the Golden Chick Support Center to meet senior team members that head up corporate support functions such as training, marketing, operations, construction and supply chain. This is a great time to get answers to any questions that you’ve yet to ask. This is the team that has the answers.
 
Time is set aside for a one-on-one discussion with members of the Executive Team to get to know you, and you them. If the parties agree, Discovery Day will end with the signing of your initial franchise agreement.

Due Diligence & Proforma

 
During Step 3 you will contact as many current franchisees as you like. Ask them about their experience with Golden Chick, “why they chose the brand”. How long to build your Golden Chick? What should I pay my manager? Get the answers to your questions from Golden Chick operators that live the brand every day.
 
Next you will prepare a financial proforma for your proposed Golden Chick. We will provide you a format and guidelines that you can complete or enlist your accountant/financial advisor’s help. It is important that you understand the P&L, and your lender is going to want to know that you understand the numbers as well. Once completed, we will review together to ensure that your expectations are reasonable and realistic.

Reviewing the Details

 
Early in the process it is important for both parties to learn about each other to ensure that our goals are aligned and realistic. It is critical that potential franchisees are a good fit for the Golden Chick culture and process. You should walk away from this discussion feeling that you want to proceed to the next step.
 
If it seems like we’d be a good fit, we’ll take some time to review the details of the investment with you. You’ll be provided with a copy of our franchise disclosure document (FDD) which breaks down everything you need to know about starting a quick-service restaurant with Golden Chick. While you’re reading the fine print, we’ll learn more about your background and ensure that you’re well-qualified to become a franchisee.

Ops Assessment

 
Hosted by an Operations Training Specialist, you will attend an introduction to Golden Chick operations providing you with an overview of the restaurant layout; key employee positions in a typical Golden Chick and their responsibilities; products, systems and much more.
 
We want you leaving this 4-5 hour overview with an understanding of what it takes to deliver on the Golden Chick experience of friendly, helpful service, delicious Golden Chick meals and a clean and sanitary facility. Given the current environment, this was never more important!

Introductory Call

 
Once you contact us, we’ll be in touch soon to provide you with more details about our brand and the investment. We’ll want to know more about you and your interest in starting a Golden Chick restaurant, and we’ll let you know the basics.
