Arizona-based franchise group and real estate developer Chandi Hospitality Group is to introduce the Chicken Guy! brand to North Bay with a soft launch in American Canyon, California, on 12 December 2024. 

The opening marks the arrival of a dining concept created by restaurateur Robert Earl and celebrity chef Guy Fieri, according to a release posted on RestaurantNews.com

North Bay's inaugural Chicken Guy! restaurant will celebrate its opening day by offering the first one hundred dine-in guests a goodie bag filled with branded merchandise such as t-shirts and stickers.  

In a significant expansion move earlier in 2023, Chandi Hospitality Group secured a ten-unit deal with Chicken Guy!, obtaining exclusive development rights for counties within the San Francisco Bay area and Sacramento. 

Chicken Guy! is known for its chicken tenders, which are brined, hand-pounded and seasoned with a unique spice blend to ensure crunch and taste.  

The menu also features stacked chicken sandwiches, sides and sauces.

With more than two decades of experience in restaurant development and franchising, Chandi Hospitality Group brings expertise to the new venture. 

Chandi Hospitality Group owner Sony Chandi stated: “We are immensely proud to open our first Chicken Guy! location, marking the beginning of our 10-unit partnership with this exciting, growing brand. 

“Chicken Guy! offers a flavour-packed dining experience that we know will resonate with Napa County locals and visitors alike, and we are confident it will quickly become a community staple as we expand the brand throughout Northern California.” 

Currently owning seven Mountain Mike’s Pizza outlets and managing twelve more across Northern California, Chandi Hospitality Group also operates Beer Baron Bar & Kitchen in downtown Santa Rosa.  

The upcoming Chicken Guy! location at 200 American Canyon Road offers a 43-seat dining room and drive-through service.

To ensure smooth operations at the new venue, Chandi Hospitality Group has appointed Thomas Depew as general manager.  

The American Canyon Chicken Guy! will welcome guests from 11am to 10pm Sunday to Thursday, and extend its hours until 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
