Company Details
The Challenge:
The restaurant sector lacked affordable, consistent dining experiences. Eating out was often either too expensive or unreliable. Fragmented food outlets, poor service, and a lack of scalable models left a gap in the market — along with limited employment opportunities for youth.
The Solution:
Chicken Town launched in 2019 to fill this gap. With six stores and over 700,000 meals sold in 2024, it offers quick, affordable meals for $2–3. The company employs 240+ people, most in their first job, and has built strong preparation facility, cold storage, and delivery infrastructure for scale.
