Golden Chick Innovates With New Modular Restaurant Design

Texas-based Golden Chick has launched a new restaurant design with an innovative modular constructed building. The QSR brand said in a statement that the first restaurant with the new design is scheduled to be installed in Saginaw, Texas this month and expected to open in March, with two more installations in the pipeline for the first half of the year in two other Texas markets.

“This new model will allow our franchisees to go to market quicker than ever before, while reducing the overall development and operational costs,” said Jim Stevens, president of Golden Chick. 

The company said the modular construction development is cost-effective, saving 10-15 percent overall, and allows for consistency and efficiency with the building process reducing it to approximately five weeks. The building is constructed off-site then transported to the final destination for completion. 

Golden Chick’s modular restaurant design will feature a drive-thru as well as an area for online order pick-ups in a 1,920-square-foot space. A 1,400-square foot model without interior seating is also currently in development and will be equipped with a drive-thru and walk-up order window.
