Chicken Express Catfish Snack

Chicken Express is a fast food chain that specializes in chicken dishes, particularly fried chicken. Founded in 1988 in Mineral Wells, Texas, Chicken Express was established with the aim of providing high-quality, fast-service chicken meals. The brand has since expanded, primarily in the Southern United States, with over 200 locations as of the last count.

History

Chicken Express was founded by Richard and Nancy Stuart in Mineral Wells, Texas. The Stuarts were experienced in the restaurant business, having previously operated a different chicken franchise. They decided to create their own brand to offer high-quality, fresh chicken quickly and at a reasonable price. The concept quickly took off, leading to rapid expansion throughout Texas and neighboring states.

Menu

The Chicken Express menu features a variety of chicken-based dishes, including their signature express tenders, fried chicken pieces, chicken livers, and chicken gizzards. In addition to chicken, the menu also offers side dishes such as mashed potatoes, cole slaw, fried okra, and their famous sweet tea. The brand prides itself on the freshness of its ingredients, with chicken dishes prepared without the use of heat lamps or microwaves.

Expansion

Following its initial success, Chicken Express began franchising in the early 1990s, allowing for rapid expansion across the Southern United States. Today, Chicken Express locations can be found in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Georgia. The brand's growth is attributed to its commitment to quality food, fast service, and a family-friendly atmosphere.

Corporate Affairs

Chicken Express is headquartered in Burleson, Texas. The company has maintained a steady growth strategy, focusing on expanding within the regions where it already has a presence. This approach has allowed Chicken Express to build a strong brand loyalty among its customer base.

Cultural Impact

Chicken Express has made a notable impact in the regions it serves, not only as a popular dining option but also through its involvement in community events and sponsorships. The brand is known for its support of local schools, sports teams, and charitable organizations, further cementing its role as a community-oriented business.
