Buy a Daddy’s Chicken Shack Franchise

Daddy’s Chicken Shack is a fast-casual fried chicken franchise launched in 2018 by chef Pace Webb and partner Chris Georgalas in Pasadena, California, after a celebrity catering event where Mandy Moore raved about their sliders as the “best chicken sandwiches.” Backed by RE/MAX founder Dave Liniger, it delivers chef-inspired Southern comfort food like crave-worthy sandwiches, tenders, and sides with bold flavors and warm hospitality in efficient, welcoming spaces. Now expanding nationally via franchising with regional development deals, such as a 10-unit Southern California agreement, it’s ideal for entrepreneurs seeking quick-service growth without heavy real estate needs.
