Is Church's planning to mount a come back?

I used to love the Church's chicken, but I really liked their seasoned battered fries with the different dipping sauces.

I couldn’t imagine owning a fried chicken big box chain

If I remember correctly churches was the OG chicken tenders. We had one in Rockport Texas in the early 90s and their tenders were legit. So much better than DQ and Sonic.

Makes sense. I remember at one time liking the steak finger baskets at DQ but they’re prebattered frozen as well. I’m not sure if I grew out of it or if they changed them but they are terrible now. As a matter of fact I don’t really like any of the food from DQ just their ice cream and blizzards.

Church’s chicken pieces are huge. Their thighs are bigger than the breasts they serve at Popeyes.

And their biscuits destroy the crap biscuits at KFC and Popeyes.

Their biscuits are legit

Church's on Burbank kept me alive while I was in college. We'd get coupon books in the mail pretty often. There were always 3 or 4 coupons to get a 2 piece (I think, might have been 3) with mashed potatoes and a biscuit for $2.49.

Fond memories of going to the Churches just off post at Ft.Sam, buying a five piece box, 6 jalapeño peppers and sitting in the gutter with a bottle of cheap wine to wash down my dinner. Hard to come up with better memories of the good old days. Every chicken place should have a gallon jar of whole jalapeños on the counter by the register- that would make your eyes water when they took the lid off.

I would never want to deal with the bullshite that comes along with a fried chicken joint.

Popeyes hand batters all their chicken items

The graphic in the OP is enticing. read the small print regarding the AUVs tho, and realize the remodel cost prob starts at $500k minimum
