CHURCH’S TEXAS CHICKEN®: A LEGACY BRAND BUILT FOR FRANCHISE GROWTH
Founded in 1952 by George W. Church Sr. in San Antonio, Texas, Church’s Texas Chicken® has grown from a single neighborhood restaurant into one of the world’s most recognized quick-service chicken brands. With more than 70 years of heritage, the brand has earned a loyal following by delivering bold flavor, craveable comfort food and exceptional value — day after day, market after market.
Now headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Church’s Texas Chicken® began franchising in 1969 and has since expanded to more than 1,400 restaurants globally. Its long-standing franchise model, operational expertise and scalable footprint have made Church’s Texas Chicken® a trusted growth platform for entrepreneurs seeking both stability and opportunity.
Restaurants are strategically located in high-traffic commercial corridors, including malls, convenience stores, sales plazas and tertiary institutions — allowing franchisees flexibility to meet the needs of their local communities.
