    About Chicken Delight

    When Al Tunick bought some deep fryers from a company that was going out of business, he didn't quite know what to do with them. With the help of some friends, Tunick began experimenting, trying to cook different foods in the fryers. The entrepreneur found his answer in chicken, and in 1952, Chicken Delight was born. The company quickly expanded throughout the United States and first moved into Canada in 1958.
    Winnipeg entrepreneur Otto Koch purchased his first Chicken Delight franchise in 1969. Seeing the potential of the chain in Canada, Koch built and acquired additional franchise locations and in 1976 bought Chicken Delight of Canada Ltd. By providing quality service and cleanliness, the Canadian operation prospered. This success led to Koch’s acquisition of the U.S. and International arm - Chicken Delight International Inc. in 1979. For the first time the total Chicken Delight system was under one roof. Otto Koch passed away in December 2010 - but that wasn’t the end for Chicken Delight. Winnipeg couple Jim and Nadine Cartman became the new owners of Chicken Delight in June 2012. Under their leadership, Chicken Delight is now undergoing a brand refresh with focus on renovating existing stores, adding new menu items and improving customer service.
    The Cartmans and their team keep a close eye on the marketplace and are constantly looking to expand Chicken Delight through franchising.

    About Brown's Chicken & Pasta

    Brown's Chicken & Pasta is committed to controlled expansion of completely new store sites and the redevelopment of our current restaurant locations. This business practice encourages growth of locally based ownership and management of restaurants. All new franchises awarded will actually be two opportunities in one. The company is in an aggressive redevelopment stage as existing Brown's Chicken & Pasta restaurants are being remodeled and re-tooled to incorporate our new CHICAGO WAY sandwich brand. The introduction of CHICAGO WAY sandwiches to our existing restaurant operation has sparked new sales and customer traffic opportunities. Operating within the same site that houses our primary Brown's Chicken & Pasta restaurant concept, the CHICAGO WAY sandwich menu brings new daypart appeal to the location. Brown's traditional business is largely generated through the evening daypart. The CHICAGO WAY sandwich line opens the lucrative lunch and fringe daypart markets to the franchise. All future franchise development will be a combined Brown's Chicken & Pasta and THE CHICAGO WAY as a single dual-concept operation.
