GREENSBORO, NC — Gilmer Alfaro, an immigrant from El Salvador and seasoned restaurateur, is opening his fifth Pollo Campero restaurant — this time in Greensboro, North Carolina. With over 100 U.S. locations and close to another 300 worldwide, the Central American chicken franchise is growing rapidly, bringing family-recipe-inspired, flavorful chicken meals to the markets it enters. Greensboro’s new Pollo Campero restaurant is expected to open on February 18th at 4627 W Market St, Greensboro, North Carolina, 27407. 

In 2024, Alfaro brought the brand to South Carolina with the successful opening of Pollo Campero’s first Rock Hill location. The opening marked his fourth location with the brand. 

“I opened my first restaurant in 2016 and have been passionate about serving the best, highest-quality food to the communities we love,” said Alfaro. “After seeing the incredible response in Raleigh and Rock Hill, I’m excited to bring Pollo Campero to Greensboro. This community deserves to experience the bold, flavorful chicken that has made us a favorite across the Carolinas and beyond.”

Pollo Campero’s Raleigh location has already earned acclaim, recently being named the No. 2 top chicken restaurant in the city by Business Rate LLC. The award, based on strong customer reviews and exceptional performance, reflects the dedication of Alfaro and his team to delivering an outstanding dining experience.

“Our growth is driven by leaders like Gilmer, who deeply understand the brand and are committed to excellence,” said Blas Escarcega, Vice President of Franchise Development. “Gilmer’s success in Rock Hill, Raleigh and beyond is a testament to his hard work and the loyalty of Pollo Campero fans. We know Greensboro is going to be another fantastic chapter in his journey.”

Pollo Campero continues to win over fans across the U.S. with its signature fried and grilled chicken, family meals and sides that reflect the brand’s rich Central American roots. The Greensboro opening builds on the brand’s success as it celebrates new milestones in sales and customer satisfaction.
