El Pollo Loco (Nasdaq:LOCO), the nation's leading fire-grilled

“After over three decades with El Pollo Loco, we are extremely
proud that this Chula Vista restaurant marks our 30th restaurant,”
said Aaron Pingel, Chief Financial Officer of Chic Pollo, LLC. “We
are thrilled to offer area residents a family-friendly environment
to sit and enjoy our healthy, flavorful, Mexican-inspired dishes
and strive to become an integral part of the community not only by
serving healthier lunch and dinner options, but by also hosting
local fundraisers and sponsoring youth sports teams and non-profit
initiatives.”
"With franchise development being such a vital part of our
Company’s strategic growth plan, we put the utmost trust and
confidence in experienced franchisees like Bill, Chris, Aaron, and
Angel,” said Steve Sather, Chief Executive Officer at El Pollo
Loco. “I couldn’t be more thrilled with how the Chic Pollo and
Peg/Lion teams have represented El Pollo Loco over the past 30
years. We are very excited to open a second Chula Vista location
and invite the entire community to celebrate with us by stopping in
and enjoying our signature fire-grilled chicken, house-made salsas
and other Mexican-inspired entrees.”
The 2,400 square foot restaurant has seating for 74 guests and
