As Arizona takes in more Latin American immigrants, the Central American fast-casual chicken chain Pollo Campero hopes to expand throughout the state. In an interview with What Now Phoenix, Pollo Campero’s Director of Franchise Development, Blas Escarcega, explains that the chain could be in Phoenix by the end of 2023.
“We already have legacy customers out of Arizona who tell us that they travel as far as Los Angeles or Las Vegas just to visit Pollo Campero and take it home with them,” said Escarcega.
