Dallas Based Fast Casual Concept Announces Newest Franchisee
Cowboy Chicken, the popular eighteen-unit Dallas-based fast casual wood fire rotisserie chicken brand, has done it again! Cowboy Chicken is thrilled to announce their newest franchise partner, Jakes Management 22 Company. The 5-store development agreement will expand the concept to Atlanta, GA and surrounding areas.
Cowboy Chicken would like to welcome Van Jakes and team to the family. As a retired member of the National Football League (NFL), a strong community leader, and a member of the hospitality industry for over 24 years, Jakes brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this growing brand.
Jakes, a multi-unit operator in the restaurant industry, is eager to bring Cowboy Chicken, with such a strong brand and rich history, to the Atlanta area. He believes that this elevated, unique concept paired with his team’s experience and knowledge of the market, will make this partnership a great success. Seeing Cowboy Chicken’s recent expansion and recognizing a need for authentic, honest food, Jakes was convinced the business was for him.
“Being able to introduce Cowboy Chicken to Atlanta with a partner like Van Jakes is exciting. As we position ourselves for expanded national growth, we work to recruit franchisees that best match the culture of our brand. Jakes, who was recently awarded the NAACP Benjamin L. Hooks Award for Outstanding Community Service, has created a team around the idea of 100% customer satisfaction and community involvement. We are excited to bring the art of cooking chicken over a real wood fire to the people of Atlanta, with a partner like Van. We welcome Van and his team to the family!” said Sean Kennedy, President of Cowboy Chicken.
