## Story

Daddy’s Chicken Shack has opened its latest location in Leander, Texas.

The central, Texas location is about 22 miles north of downtown Austin. A grand opening was held Dec. 19 – Dec. 21 that included a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Leander Chamber of Commerce.

This restaurant, featuring signature chicken sandwiches, craft beers, and a loyalty program, is owned and operated by Leander residents Chuck and Nicole Goddard.

“This has been a labor of love for our family and our entire team,” said Nicole Goddard. “We’re excited to make Daddy’s Chicken Shack a gathering place where our neighbors, friends, and families can come together. Our goal is to create a welcoming space that becomes an integral part of the Leander community.”

Daddy’s Chicken Shack’s chicken is brined in buttermilk and herbs, then pressure-cooked crispy or grilled to perfection, creating juicy, flavorful sandwiches. Each sandwich is served on a light brioche bun with house made pickles and a choice of 10 flavorful sauces.

The menu also offers fresh salads, chicken fingers, and popcorn chicken.

This opening marks the ninth location for Daddy’s Chicken Shack. Along with Texas, the franchise operates locations in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Florida. In Texas, Daddy’s Chicken Shack has locations in Houston and Colleyville.
