The new restaurant is a free-standing unit with more than 6,400 sq. ft. and showcases Texas-inspired architectural styling. The design includes a contemporary dining room that reflects today’s customer preferences. There are unique features including state-of-the-art technologies for online ordering and Church’s To Go. The newest Campeche restaurant also spotlights Church’s quality preparation and bold flavor for made-in-house fresh fried chicken, homestyle sides, and Honey Butter Biscuits™ that have made Church’s a fan-favorite in Mexico.
“Mexico has proven to be one of our strongest markets and it’s thanks to franchise partners and the loyal brand following they’ve helped us establish,” said Russ Sumrall, SVP, International Strategic Development for Church’s Texas Chicken™. “We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone opening with Grupo GES and Exelco as we continue to bring the flavorful legendary taste of Texas to the world. Their experience within this space has played a significant role in our expansion efforts.”
Grupo GES has two other Church’s Texas Chicken™ locations, one in Campeche City and the other in Chetumal City in the state of Quintana Roo. The franchisee has plans to open more units in the region. All three of the current restaurants boast the brand’s BLAZE image.
“Church’s® has developed into a beloved brand in Mexico. We are honored to bring its first-in-class products and services to more communities,” said Jorge Hernández Villanueva, Executive Director for Grupo GES. “Over the years, the Church’s development team has offered comprehensive support and kept us on the path to success throughout our partnership.”
Grupo GES is a sub-franchisee for Master Franchisee Exelco. Grupo GES began operations with Church’s Texas Chicken™/Church’s Chicken™ in 2011.
