This has helped the&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pollocampero/info">Pollo Campero franchise</a> develop a cult-like following for their fried chicken dishes, especially fan favorites like the bone-in fried chicken. The chain also serves empanadas and grilled chicken, as well as salads, rice bowls and sides such as plantains and yuca fries.&nbsp;The brand has previously seen customers buy the chicken in bulk to bring home to cities that do not yet have access to a franchised location.“The plane is full of Campero Chicken,”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/blas-escarcega-4826281a2/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=business-insider-pollo-campero-is-taking-over-the-fried-chicken-world-as-locations-triple-2724554" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Blas Escarcega</a>, Pollo Campero’s director of franchise development, told Business Insider.&nbsp;The first U.S. location was established in North Carolina in 2002, with sales hitting $1 million dollars within 22 days of opening. As the brand continues to grow, Pollo Campero fans are likely soon to be able to access to their beloved chicken products a lot nearer to home, as the brand has plans to invest $190 million towards expansion in the U.S. The new expansion plans will accelerate this growth substantially, tripling the number of U.S. locations.&nbsp;To read the full article, click&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pollo-campero-fried-chicken-chain-expanding-opening-more-us-restaurants-2023-12?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=business-insider-pollo-campero-is-taking-over-the-fried-chicken-world-as-locations-triple-2724554" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here.&nbsp;</a>For more information, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://camperofranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=business-insider-pollo-campero-is-taking-over-the-fried-chicken-world-as-locations-triple-2724554" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://camperofranchise.com/.</a>&nbsp;
