Hartz Chicken
Hartz Chicken is a popular fast food chain that specializes in serving fried chicken. The company was founded in 1972 in San Antonio, Texas, by Gene Johnson, a former Church's Chicken franchisee.
History[edit | edit source]
Hartz Chicken began as a single restaurant in San Antonio, Texas. The founder, Gene Johnson, had previously owned and operated several Church's Chicken franchises before deciding to start his own business. The name "Hartz" was chosen as a nod to Johnson's German heritage.
The company quickly gained popularity due to its unique recipe for fried chicken, which is known for its crispy texture and flavorful seasoning. By the late 1970s, Hartz Chicken had expanded to multiple locations across Texas.
Menu[edit | edit source]
Hartz Chicken's menu primarily consists of fried chicken, which is available in various forms such as pieces, tenders, and sandwiches. The chain also offers a variety of side dishes, including mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and biscuits.
In addition to its standard menu, Hartz Chicken also offers a buffet option at select locations. The buffet includes a variety of chicken dishes, as well as other Southern-style foods such as cornbread, green beans, and macaroni and cheese.
Expansion and Franchising[edit | edit source]
In the 1980s, Hartz Chicken began franchising its brand, leading to a significant expansion of the chain. Today, there are over 60 Hartz Chicken locations, primarily in Texas, but also in other parts of the United States and internationally.
The company's franchising model has allowed it to grow rapidly while maintaining consistent quality across its locations. Each franchisee is provided with training and support to ensure they uphold the Hartz Chicken brand standards.
