The Chicken Express concept was born in 1988 in Benbrook, Texas. The first Chicken Express franchise store was opened in 1990. Today there are more than 100 locations spread across three states.
Stuart Group, Inc., doing business as Chicken Express, (“Chicken Express”) is a Texas corporation formed by Richard and Nancy Stuart. Chicken Express was started by the Stuarts after they spent over a decade as franchisees of another quick service restaurant business.
Chicken Express believes that an important element to the success of its franchise system is the owner/operator franchise philosophy that Chicken Express seeks to employ. When an operator of a restaurant is also the owner, then he tends to pay particular attention to all of the details required for serving high quality food, with wonderful customer service at reasonable prices. In furtherance of this philosophy, Chicken Express seeks to select only the finest, hardest working individuals to open new franchise locations across the Southwestern United States.
Chicken Express intends to maintain this philosophy and its core beliefs as it continues expansion through the Southwestern United States. If you have not eaten at a Chicken Express store, please visit our locations page to find a store near you.
