Chicken Delight Franchise

Quick-service restaurant offering fried chicken and pizza


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.
