FRANCHISING WITH DETROIT'S ORIGNAL CHICKEN SHACK

Today’s restaurant environment has changed. It’s all about carryout and delivery. We are built for this. We were offering take-out and delivery back in the 1950’s, and over 60 years later we are still serving our customers this way. People love to enjoy their meals on the go and Detroit’s Original Chicken Shack has the market covered!

Detroit's Original Chicken Shack is a leader in the fast casual segment with average unit sales of $1,320,202.*
