Florida is about to get another chicken chain—whether Floridians think they need one or not. Chick N Max, a fast-growing Kansas-based restaurant, has its sights set on the Sunshine State, with potential locations popping up in cities like Orlando, Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, Jacksonville, Miami, Tallahassee, and West Palm Beach.

About Chick N Max

For those skeptical about yet another chicken chain, Chick N Max brings something a little different to the table. The restaurant takes pride in its unique flavor profile, with a signature almond-wood smoked pulled chicken as one of its standout menu items. And yes, there’s fried chicken, too, for those who prefer their chicken crispy.

What sets Chick N Max apart is the attention to detail in their toppings. Diners can expect options like fried jalapeño pepper strips, cucumbers, and sweet and spicy sauces to give their chicken sandwiches a creative edge. The chain claims to be the only one using almond wood, which gives its chicken a distinct smoky flavor. Their motto? “Home of the better chicken sandwich.” The restaurant has made waves in Wichita, Kansas, where it’s been recognized as one of the “fastest-growing” companies in the area.

Florida Expansion Plans

In mid-September 2024, Chick N Max announced its ambitious expansion plans for Florida. The company aims to open as many as 100 locations across the state, bringing up to 2,500 jobs to the area. With popular cities like Orlando, Miami, and Tampa Bay on the list, it’s clear that the chain is going all-in on its Florida expansion.

So, whether Floridians are ready for it or not, Chick N Max is coming, and it’s bringing its “better chicken sandwich” along with it. The real question is—will it live up to the hype? Only time, and a lot of taste tests, will tell!
