twitterChain plans LV expansion
Monday, Aug. 7, 2000 | 11:41 a.m.
IRVINE, Calif. -- The chicken and tortilla fast-food chain El Pollo Loco announced plans to open 100 new restaurants over the next five years. In Las Vegas, the company has two restaurants now and plans to build another 10 to 15.
This announcement follows El Pollo Loco's sale last December by Advantica Restaurant Group Inc. to New York-based equity investment firm American Securities Capital Partners L.P.
El Pollo Loco will focus its expansion in the West.
"We believe there are terrific opportunities to continue to grow our brand, both in Southern California where we already have a strong presence, and in our emerging Northern California, Arizona, Texas and Nevada markets," said Brian Berkhausen, vice president of development for El Pollo Loco.
El Pollo Loco currently operates domestically 122 company restaurants and 150 franchised restaurants.
