## Story

Chester’s Chicken, a leading national quick-service restaurant known for its bold, flavorful fried chicken, has opened its 20th location with MFA Oil Company’s Break Time convenience store chain. Located inside the Break Time at 615 N. Main St. in Piedmont, Missouri, the new store marks the latest milestone in the ongoing partnership.

Guests at the newly opened Piedmont location will be able to enjoy Chester’s signature menu, including fresh, double-breaded fried chicken, bone-in wings and other guest favorites. The menu will also feature rotating promotions, such as the Nashville Hot flavor, now available at participating locations.

“Partnering with MFA Oil over the years has allowed us to deliver the high-quality, fresh-made fried chicken our guests crave right where they need it,” said Wynn Giles, CEO of Chester’s Chicken. “Hitting 20 locations together with Break Time is a major milestone, and we’re proud to expand our footprint in Missouri while laying the groundwork for even more growth ahead.”

The new Chester’s will operate inside Break Time, a convenience store and gas station chain operated by MFA Oil Company. Primarily located across Missouri, Break Time stores offer fuel, beer caves, hot foods and other convenience amenities. Building on this momentum, an agreement is already in place to open a 21st Chester’s with Break Time in the coming months.

“Partnering with Chester’s has been a total win for our Break Time stores and our guests,” said Roger Hudson, MFA Oil Company Senior Foodservice & Beverage Manager. “Our customers are always looking for a delicious, quick meal on the go, and Chester’s fresh fried chicken has really hit the spot. We’re thrilled to mark our 20th store with the brand and bring this guest favorite to the Piedmont community.”

The Piedmont opening comes as Chester’s continues to expand through partnerships with convenience retailers, travel centers, supermarkets and other non-traditional locations. Founded in 1952 in Montgomery, Alabama, Chester’s now has more than 1,200 locations and counting across the U.S. and Canada.
