WHY CHICKANOS

Chickano’s was established in 2011. It saw the amalgamation of experience, creativity and innovation from its two founding partners Mo & Suhail. Both partners were unimpressed with what the market had to offer and became focused on delivering deliciously addictive food in vibrant surroundings.

Chickano’s food is hugely popular because it’s simply brilliant! Fresh ingredients, prepared using our perfected techniques and served with our exclusive range of signature sauces and marinades. Chickano’s offers a simple yet diverse menu; chicken fillet burgers, premium hand made gourmet beef burgers, wraps, salads, fried chicken and a range of grilled chicken products. Alongside the core menu an array of innovative new products are frequently introduced to excite our customers taste buds and invigorate store sales.

Today, Chickano’s operates from 5 stores and sets the benchmark in quality, service, and excellent overall customer experience. All outlets are posting exceptional sales and profitability. We are now carefully selecting franchisees from individuals and companies who share our passion for the Chickano’s brand. Our franchisees must have great people skills; they must be excellent communicators, be very ambitious, work to build great teams and possess leadership qualities that motivate all around them. Once on board, our franchisees receive dedicated support and commitment. Our aim is to deliver resounding success. It’s this success that makes Chicano’s franchisees our loudest advocates and brand ambassadors.

Chickano’s Family depends completely on the success of our franchisees. Our whole focus is centred around supporting these franchisees, that’s why were determined to provide all the support at our discretion to make each and every franchise another Chickano’s success story.
