Mehta Investment Group Plans 17 Starbird Chicken Units

Mehta Investment Group signed an agreement to develop 17 Starbird Chicken locations across Washington state.

The new franchise venture will be led by Vin Mehta and his son, Rohit, through Mehta Investment Group, a family-owned enterprise with experience across multiple industries and a strong track record of building successful operations. Vin Mehta, president of Mehta Investment Group, will guide the strategic direction of the restaurants, and Rohit Mehta will oversee day-to-day operations and support the brand's growth throughout Washington.

"Starbird has built something truly special by reimagining what a chicken restaurant can be, from the bold flavors and hospitable, modern restaurant design to the overall guest experience," the Mehtas said in a statement. "Together, we'll combine Starbird's innovative approach with our team's operational experience and passion for building lasting connections. We're excited to open in Washington and become part of the communities we serve."

The leadership at Starbird Chicken praised Mehta Investment Group's operational expertise and commitment to community-focused restaurants. The group also operates more than 60 Jack in the Box locations.
