Energy Edge Technologies Corporation plans to sign a lease this month on its first Gourmet Chicken Company, said CEO James Boyd.
"We have been successful in finding two locations that meet our criteria and have been in discussions with a real estate developer who has a portfolio of high visibility properties and proceeding with lease negotiations," Boyd said in a company press release about the chain's debut in Atlanta.
The Gourmet Chicken Company is positioned in the "Better Chicken" category and will serve fresh, marinated, battered and breaded chicken products that are fried in 100 percent peanut oil, Boys said. The menu includes rotisserie chicken, grilled or fried chicken sandwiches and breast strips all prepared to order.
The company has also been approached by another developer about building a Gourmet Chicken inside a large commercial office/student housing development adjacent to a large hospital, also in Atlanta, Boyd said.
"The location appears to be an excellent site and there is a potential to open a second location in the first quarter of 2014," Boyd said. "Our plan is to build and offer these locations to licensees or franchisees after we file the necessary documents to offer franchises."
