El Pollo Loco’s History
The roots of El Pollo Loco are actually in Mexico. The first restaurant was opened in 1975 by Juan Francisco Ochoa in Guasave, Sinaloa, Mexico. The first restaurant in the United States opened in 1980 after the chain had expanded to several locations in Northern Mexico. This Los Angeles location was so popular that it cleared $2 million in sales in the first year alone.
The American El Pollo Loco restaurants were acquired by Denny’s in 1983. In 1999, with over 200 locations, the chain was sold to American Securities Capital Partners, and in 2005 it was sold again to Trimaran Capital Partners. The company moved to a franchise model in the mid-1980s and became publically traded on NASDAQ in 2014.
As of 2015, there are over 400 El Pollo Loco restaurants in operation throughout the United States.
