DALLAS Pollo Campero, a quick-service Latin chicken chain, is working with a franchisee to develop a new dual-branded restaurant concept for Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla.
The new restaurant, developed with franchisee Levy Campero of Chicago, will open in late 2010 at Downtown Disney Marketplace with a menu featuring fried and grilled chicken, salads and wraps, the companies said.
Half of the restaurant will resemble a traditional Pollo Campero, and the other half will be a new concept with a more extensive menu. The name has not yet been decided.
“This is an exciting opportunity for Pollo Campero to introduce its famous chicken, along with our newest fresh restaurant concept of salads and wraps, to visitors from all over the world,” said Adam Cummis, president of Levy Campero.
The menu will include Pollo Campero's signature chicken and such side dishes as yucca fries and sweet plantains and Latin drinks like horchata and tamarindo. The new concept also will offer vegetarian, gluten-free, sugar-free, low-sodium and organic menu items.
Pollo Campero, whose parent company is based in Guatemala, has 50 units in the United States and more than 300 worldwide. Levy Campero has five branches and owns the franchise rights to operate Pollo Campero restaurants in Florida and Illinois.
