TL;DR
Big Chicken is opening a new location in Renton, Washington, marking the brand's entry into the market. The location is owned by franchisees David and Lorri Jones, who have experience working with major national restaurant brands.
The location will officially open its doors on December 17 at 921-A N 10th Street in Renton Landing, a bustling upscale shopping, dining and entertainment hub.
“I have been looking forward to this day since the moment I signed the franchise agreement,” said David Jones, experienced restauranteur and franchisee of the new Big Chicken in Renton alongside his wife, Lorri.
Prior to launching Blazing Onion Handcrafted Burgers, David held positions at other major national restaurant brands, including Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Panhandler Pies and Denny’s. Lorri earned her experience working as a controller at Red Hook Brewery, Eldec Aerospace and Philipps Warranty.
“We couldn’t be happier to have such an incredible pair of owners like David and Lorri running our newest location,” said Josh Halpern, CEO of Big Chicken. “Their individual backgrounds and portfolio of brands made the decision so easy for us.”
