History of Golden Chick Franchise

Golden Chick was originally called Golden Fried Chicken when they first opened in the 1960's. The first restaurant was opened in San Marcos, Texas in 1967 by a former employee of a chicken franchise who thought there was a better way to run a franchise, so he opened his own. He sold the business in 1982 and in 1989 the business was purchased by an investment group. They continued to be involved in the Golden Fried Chicken business and have made many enhancements to the chain that evolved into Golden Chick. The name was officially changed to Golden Chick on all new restaurants since 1996. Golden Chick has been in business for over 40 years now with 135 stores and still growing.
