HISTORY George W. Church, Sr., a retired incubator salesman with more than 20 years in the poultry industry, conceived the idea of offering freshly cooked, quality fried chicken at a time when only hot dogs and ice cream were marketed fast-food style. The first Church s Fried Chicken-To-Go opened in 1952 in San Antonio, Texas across the street from the Alamo. George W. Bill Church, Jr. assumed chief operating responsibility for the family business in 1962. In 1967 Church s invented a domestic franchise program. The Church s family was bought out in October 1968, and in May 1969 Church s Fried Chicken, Inc. became a publicly held company. By the end of 1969, there were over 100 Church s restaurants were in operation in seven states. International expansion began in 1971 with the announcement of the first Church s Chicken in Vancouver, Canada. By 1974 there were 487 First Church s Restaurant Church s in 22 states with total revenues of $100 million. Church s formed its international division in 1979 and announced the first restaurant outside of North America. The company s international franchisees initially established locations in Puerto Rico, Mexico and Indonesia. Today, Church s and Texas Chicken can be found in 28 countries around the world. Church s loveable mascot, Churchie By 1989, Church s was the second largest chicken franchise organization in the United States. That same year Church s merged with the number three chicken chain, Popeye s Famous Chicken & Biscuits. While the two shared supply lines, the Church s concept remained distinct and separate from Popeye s. On November 5, 1992, America s Favorite Chicken Company (AFC) now called AFC Enterprises Inc. offi ally became the parent company to Church s Chicken, and moved its operations headquarters to Atlanta. AFC sold the brand on December 26, 2004 to the global private equity firm, Arcapita Inc. August 4, 2009 Church s was acquired by its current owner, Friedman Fleischer & Lowe, a private equity firm ased in San Francisco, California.
