Church’s Chicken
We operate quick-service restaurants that serve lunch and dinner with a limited menu centered on fried chicken, including original and spicy chicken, Tender Strips®, chicken sandwiches, classic sides, and hand-made-from-scratch biscuits. Our restaurants are built for customers looking for fast, convenient meals away from home. Locations may be free-standing, in storefronts, malls, colleges, universities, convenience stores, travel plazas, and other sites in urban, suburban, or rural areas. Depending on the location, restaurants may offer dine-in, drive-thru, carryout, order-ahead, carside pickup, delivery, catering, or a combination of these formats. We run each restaurant under a defined system with approved recipes, menus, equipment standards, operating procedures, and employee training.
