El Pollo Loco's Second-Largest Franchisee To Add Three More Locations

Multi-unit franchisee Peglion LLC has agreed to open three more El Pollo Loco chicken locations in the San Diego, California market.  The operator is already the brand’s second largest franchisee with 34 El Pollo Loco restaurants in Southern California.   

"We are extremely excited about adding to our portfolio and proud to serve El Pollo Loco’s delicious, signature citrus-marinated, fire-grilled chicken and authentic Mexican-inspired offerings in a safe, clean, comfortable and friendly environment,” said Peglion’s Bill Engel. “With more than 30 years in this business, our commitment has always been to create the best moments possible for our customers and we can’t wait to welcome more of them at our new restaurants."

The new restaurants will all feature the brand’s new L.A. Mex image design featuring an enhanced digitized experience - including “Pollo To Go” cubbies for mobile to-go and delivery orders, digital menu boards, and GPS-enabled curbside pick-up, all integrated with the company’s mobile app.

El Pollo Loco has more than 480 company-owned and franchised restaurants operating in Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, and Louisiana.
