"We want Córdoba to experience the unique taste of our fried chicken with the original recipe that conquered the world," said Paula Barreto.

The national expansion plan includes upcoming openings in urban centers with significant commercial and tourist activity. The company highlighted that its strategy combines sustained investment, proximity marketing, and a globally recognized consumer experience. This way, Córdoba becomes a key market for the chain's growth in Argentina over the coming years.

The Córdoba shopping center aims to become a gastronomic hub that complements its traditional fashion and service offerings. Thus, the opening represents both an employment opportunity and a milestone for the consolidation of consumption in the provincial capital.
