Just four years after its 2018 inception, Daddy's Chicken Shack has signed a 20-unit deal with restaurant operators Blair Salisbury and Robin Bieker, for its home state of California, according to a company press release.

"I've been in the restaurant industry for as long as I can remember with four generations of restaurant ownership in my family. At this point, I'm confident in saying that this line of business runs in my blood," Salisbury, who is also a multi-unit operator with El Cholo in Pasadena, said in the release. "Knowing what it takes to run successful operations in this industry, I'm able to recognize a stellar business model when I see one — and Daddy's Chicken Shack is just that. Both Pace and Chris are mastering their craft with this innovative concept and have proven that especially amid the pandemic when they doubled their business. Robin and I are thrilled to be joining the brand during this early growth stage."

Bieker has experience in both the restaurant franchise and commercial real estate fields for over 30 years. The two joined forces after Bieker became a primary investor in El Cholo and are now committed to bringing their expertise to Daddy's Chicken Shack.

"Chris and I have put everything we have into building a strong foundation for this brand. For us, there is nothing more validating than having two industry professionals like Blair and Robin be committed to growing with us," Pace Webb, who serves as CEO and leads the brand with Chris Georgalas, her husband and president, said in the release. "Attracting franchise partners like this dynamic duo shows us that we're on the right track on our groundbreaking growth journey. As some of the first regional developers, these are the people who will help us solidify our reputation as an industry leader, and I'm honored to welcome them as franchise partners."

Designed to facilitate online ordering, app engagement, in-store web-enabled tech, exclusive pick-up areas and third-party delivery partnerships, the brand also uses a backend technology suite that fosters real-time data to better serve customers, employees and vendors.
