March 14, 2023 // Franchising.com // WICHITA, Kan. - Chick N Max has opened its very first franchise location, in Wichita, Kansas.

Located at 8977 W. Central, the new restaurant is Chick N Max’s fourth Wichita metro area location, and the first of many franchises to come, according to founder and CEO Max Sheets. Chick N Max currently has signed franchise development deals for restaurants across Kansas, South Dakota and Texas.

“We couldn’t be prouder to not only continue the expansion of our local footprint, but also open our very first franchisee-owned restaurant right here in our own backyard,” said Sheets.

The new restaurant in Wichita is owned and operated by Rusty Rathbun, a franchise industry veteran who previously spent more than 30 years as an area developer for SUBWAY and was responsible for bringing the sandwich giant to Kansas in 1987.

“I’ve been an admirer of the Chick N Max brand and guest experience for many years, and I’m excited to bring the concept to even more guests across Kansas," said Rathbun. “I’m especially excited to be joining Max and his dynamic leadership team.”

Chick N Max offers a unique culinary experience with its 10 unique flavors of chef-crafted sandwiches, made with almond wood smoked pulled chicken or crispy golden fried tenders. Examples include the Maple Bacon Sandwich, featuring pulled smoked chicken, chopped bacon, a drizzle of maple syrup, cheddar cheese, and mayonnaise on a potato bun; or the Sweet & Spicy Sandwich, which includes lightly breaded, crisp chicken tenders, fried jalapeño pepper strips, cucumber, tomato and sweet & spicy sauce on a brioche bun.

In addition, Chick N Max serves its signature almond wood smoked chicken in the form of wings, leg quarters, breast quarters, and half chicken.

Guests can complete their meal with a range of 10 homestyle sides including fries, onion rings, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and smoked white beans, and 11 sauces that are made daily to ensure the highest quality and taste.
