El Pollo Loco, Inc. (“El Pollo Loco” or “Company”) (Nasdaq:LOCO),
the nation's leading fire-grilled chicken chain, opened its newest
restaurant in Sandy, UT today. The new El Pollo Loco, located at
10590 S. State Street, is owned and operated by franchise partner
W.K.S. Restaurant Corporation (“WKS”), and marks the brand’s eighth
location in Utah.
“We are excited to open our 61st restaurant with El Pollo Loco
and provide the Sandy community with a family-friendly environment
where they can enjoy our famous fire-grilled chicken and flavorful
Mexican offerings made with fresh ingredients,” said Roland
Spongberg, President and CEO of WKS. “We’ve enjoyed growing our
presence in the state of Utah and are committed to building on that
momentum as we prepare to serve residents and visitors at our
newest restaurant in Sandy.”
The 2,995 square foot freestanding restaurant has seating for 70
customers and features the Company’s new ‘Vision Design,’ with an
authentic, Mexican-inspired atmosphere that reflects El Pollo
Loco’s menu and brand identity. The updated design has warm
textures, rustic elements and highlights El Pollo Loco’s open
kitchen that allows customers to view El Pollo Loco’s signature
chicken as it is fire-grilled. The restaurant is open
Monday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and closed on Sundays.
“We are thrilled to continue expanding our Utah footprint with
our largest franchise partner, WKS,” said Brian Carmichall, Vice
