Chick N Max, a fast casual franchise based in Wichita, is headed to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, after signing its first franchise agreement for three restaurants. BubbaMax LLC, whose partners include father and son Brad and Max (Bubba) Reinke, are eyeing east and southwest Sioux Falls for potential sites. All three will open over the next five years.

"At Chick N Max, we've experienced tremendous success serving the greater Wichita area, and we are excited to expand our footprint beyond Kansas and into a market like Sioux Falls," Chick N Max founder Max Sheets said in a company press release. "Anchored by our innovative take on chicken, and enthusiastic franchise partners like Brad and Max Reinke, we're perfectly positioned to accommodate the demands for healthier alternatives to burgers and look to the future with great enthusiasm."

Chick N Max offers 10 flavors of sandwiches, made with almond-wood smoked pulled chicken or fried tenders. It also serves wings, leg quarters, breast quarters and half chickens. Guests may complete their meals with a range of 10 homestyle sides, including fries, onion rings, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and smoked white beans, and 11 sauces.

With three corporate-owned restaurants already serving throngs of customers throughout Wichita, Chick N Max intends to double its footprint by the end of next year and open as many as five new restaurants each year thereafter.
