Friday, Oct. 20, the Dallas-based chicken restaurant, Golden Chick, held two check presentations at their location off Meadow and North Central Expressway.
One check went to the American Red Cross in support of Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, and the other check went to Garland local, LaShawn Brown.
Brown won Golden Chick’s Golden Giveaway Sweepstakes after visiting her local Golden Chick on Broadway Boulevard in Garland. The grand prize winner and her daughter claimed her reward of $35,000 from Mark Parmerlee, CEO and president of Golden Chick.
About Golden Chick: The Golden Chick Story began in Central Texas in the late 1960s when the concept was created by a former employee of a chicken franchise who believed there had to be a better way to run a franchise system. The delicious chicken, created by the development of secret marination and batter mixes, attracted franchise inquires, and by the time the founder sold the chain in 1982, it had
grown to 39 restaurants.
In March 1989, Golden Fried Chicken was purchased by an investment group whose involvement was strongly supported by the Golden Fried Chicken franchise community. Since then, the chain has experienced steady growth with new restaurants opening throughout the region, bringing the chainwide total to over 150 stores.
In Sept.1993, the company introduced exciting new enhancements to the Golden Fried Chicken menu as well as the restaurant appearance and thus was born Golden Chick, a concept positioned to propel the Golden chain into the future. As of 1996, all new stores were called Golden Chick.
It has been more than 50 years since the first Golden Fried Chicken opened in San Marcos, Texas. We feature the best fried chicken, our Original and Still the Best™ Golden Tenders, Golden Roast, salads, and the best sides in the business.
