Aloha From Our Chicken In a Barrel Family!
At Chicken in a Barrel, we pride ourselves in providing great customer service with aloha. We offer a family friendly environment for our customers and also provide them with the fun experience by allowing them to see how we create such off the hook BBQ.
Our barrels are our focal piece of our restaurants and the air is filled with mouth watering BBQ aroma.
You will need to work hard to build your business in your local market. but by joining the Chicken in a Barrel franchise, our team will offer you the knowledge, support and training you will need to create a one of a kind BBQ restaurant.
We look forward to a successful relationship with you and your staff as we grow the Chicken in a Barrel brand together.
Sincerely,
MIKE PIERCE
Founder of Chicken in a Barrel BBQ

Multiple Opportunities for Growth

You may choose to open a Roadside Express Restaurant which is approximately 400 to 1000 sq. ft and is perfect to open in a beach town. Customers will walk up to the window and order and you’ll offer limited outdoor seating.
Full Service Restaurant
Just like our restaurant in Hanalei, Full Service Chicken in a Barrel BBQ’s have both indoor and outdoor seating.
Area Development Opportunity
Franchisees may develop up to 3 restaurants within a Protected Development Area for the opportunity to grow with us!
