Cowboy Chicken is opening its first Georgia restaurant Monday in McDonough, according to a press release. The location is brought to Georgia as a result of a five-store franchise agreement signed with  CBJ 22 Consulting LLC owner, Chrystal Jakes, wife of former NFL player Van Jakes. 

"I'm beyond excited to finally be bringing the fantastic wood-fired flavor of Cowboy Chicken to McDonough," says Jakes, owner of franchise operator CBJ 22 Consulting LLC. "We've got a great team assembled, and we're eager to kick off this grand opening celebration to introduce our unbeatable menu and community spirit to our new neighbors."

 Since 1992, the Jakes have led their company with a commitment to  customer satisfaction and community involvement. Before becoming involved in the hospitality industry, Van Jakes spent six seasons in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, the New Orleans Saints and the Green Bay Packers. He is now retired from the NFL.
