The company has also entered into a multi-year, multi-unit development agreement to establish six new restaurants under the brand in these markets, and three local affiliates of the company will act as franchisees of the new restaurants.

Church’s Chicken franchise and company operations executive vice-president Pete Servold said: “QSR is well-experienced in the quick-service restaurant space as franchisees and as franchisors with more than 200 restaurants in their portfolio.

“The fact that we’ve attracted experienced franchisees who see the great potential of the brand and seek to complement the initiatives of existing owners makes it a good deal for all parties involved.”

Starting next year, QSR is planning to renovate the newly acquired Church’s Chicken locations to feature the restaurant chain’s STAR image design.
