Now, more Houstonians will be able to savor our delicious chicken paired with a variety of house-made dipping sauces, whether it’s to-go or dining in.

“It’s an honor to have a team like TX-SC Ventures who are as passionate as we are about expanding the brand into new communities. Their team is a prime example of the type of operating groups we are looking for in our ongoing expansion efforts both nationwide and globally.”
