Now Open: Chicken Guy!
Hatched from the minds of celebrity chef Guy Fieri and restauranteur Robert Earl, the Rolls-Royce of fried chicken is Now Open in KOP!
Chicken Guy! — which sells chicken sandwiches, bowls, fries, and shakes — launched in 2018 during the height of the fast-food fried-chicken craze. Fieri, the spike-haired TV host and pitchman, joined Earl, founder of Planet Hollywood, on the flagship location at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World. There are 12 locations now open, including King of Prussia. Seven more are on the way. Kevin Cooper, a North Philadelphia native and the winner of the Food Network show Guy’s Chance of a Lifetime, will own the franchise after one year of operation. Cooper has about 20 people on his opening team, led by corporate trainers. “My goal is to essentially continue to grow and build more Chicken Guys, and not just provide jobs, but to teach [the workers] about professional growth and teach them about personal growth. We all know a lot of people who work for these fast-casual establishments are trying to figure it out.”
Chow down today on level 1 of the Plaza, in the food court at King of Prussia Mall.
