ATLANTA, May 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Proving that quality never goes out of style, Church's Chicken^® announced the recent opening of its newest location in San Antonio, TX – the community in which the brand originated 64 years ago. Located at 13323 Culebra Road, the new restaurant is expected to meet an ever-growing demand in the area for Church's^® signature hand-battered fried chicken, honey-butter biscuits, and home-style sides.

This restaurant also marks the third Church's to open in just three years for local businessman and franchise owner, Sean Nooner. Nooner opened his first new restaurant in September of 2013 with another location following a year and a half later.

"San Antonio is evolving quickly as a major Texas destination to live, work, and play," said Nooner. "We're eager to serve all of these new residents the great taste of Church's Chicken."

Bill Schreiber, Vice President of Worldwide Business Development at Church's Chicken agreed. "Texas matters to us for many reasons – our history, our recipes, our brand experience, and our approach to hospitality are all connected to Texas. Being the first choice for quality fried chicken and signature honey-butter biscuits in Texas is a distinction we want to continue to honor for decades to come."

Besides the always-popular menu, the new Culebra Road restaurant will also feature the Church's brand's new STAR Image design, which includes new interior seating options, new exterior design and color palettes, and contemporary lighting inside and out.

"We believe the strongest brands, the ones with the most loyal followings, are those that know how to adapt to what their customers expect," continued Schreiber. "This new San Antonio location is proof you can be fresh and new without abandoning the classic quality and service that the Church's brand is known for. We think guests will enjoy it greatly."
