Looking Into Chicken Franchise Opportunities?
The chicken category is crowded. Early ownership opportunities are not.
What Are You Actually Looking For?
If you’ve been researching brands like Chick-fil-A or Dave’s Hot Chicken, you’re probably looking at one of the fastest-growing categories in franchising.
But beyond the chicken, most franchise buyers are looking for the same things:
real ownership
room to grow
strong operational support
available territory
and a brand with real staying power
That’s where Love & Honey Fried Chicken has carved out its own lane.
Love & Honey Proved the Model First. Then Franchised It.
That order matters.
Before franchising a single location, Todd and Laura Lyons spent years building a neighborhood obsession in Philadelphia. Customers lined up for the chicken. Ordered it multiple times a week. Posted about it without being asked. The model was refined through real operations long before expansion started.
Now the brand is growing across multiple markets with more than 60 locations signed and six new locations recently announced. Built around the right owners and the right markets, not chasing every zip code at once.
Built on Repeat Demand
Love & Honey’s 8-hour brined,hand-dredged fried chicken creates the kind of loyalty brands spend years trying to manufacture. Customers drive across states for it.
A Brand People Feel Something About
Warm hospitality. Chef-driven quality. A neighborhood feel that travels well into new markets.
Deliberate Expansion
We’re growing carefully and protecting the brand along the way. That matters for franchisees investing for the long term.
Still Early Enough to Matter
The category is crowded. The opportunity to grow with a rising brand still in expansion mode is much harder to find.
Why Operators Are Paying Attention
Love & Honey Fried Chicken was built for the way people order today.
The model combines dine-in, takeout, catering, and delivery across lunch, dinner, and late-night demand. The footprint is efficient, the systems are refined, and the
technology is designed to support high-volume operations without losing the hospitality that made the brand successful in the first place.
Strong Unit-Level Performance
The Philadelphia corporate location generated approximately $2.0M in annual revenue while operating out of an 800 sq ft footprint. *
Multiple Revenue Streams
Dine-in. Carryout. Catering. Delivery. Customers have multiple ways to engage with the brand throughout the week.
Systems Built Through Experience
Supply chain support, inventory management, online ordering, analytics, marketing systems, and operational playbooks shaped through years of running the business firsthand.
Support That Stays Involved
Site selection, construction guidance, grand opening support, training, marketing, and ongoing operational consultation from a team that built the concept themselves.
Built for People Who Actually Want to Own Something.
Some systems are designed around operatorship. Others are built around ownership.
Love & Honey franchisees own their business, build equity, and grow within protected territories backed by a support system designed for long-term success.
This is an opportunity for operators who want:
independence with support
a premium product with real demand
room to grow
a brand with momentum
and a business they can truly build over time
