Koo Koo Roo Announces Comeback in LA

Koo Koo Roo, the beloved Los Angeles chicken chain that closed its last location in 2014, is set to relaunch under new ownership, led by Daniel Farasat and his family. The restaurant, known for its charbroiled skinless chicken and fresh ingredients, will make its comeback at ChainFEST in October 2024, where fans can enjoy a preview of its offerings. Farasat, a superfan of the original brand, aims to honor its legacy while introducing new menu items and focusing on local sourcing. The chain originally operated around 40 locations at its peak and became a staple for healthy fast food in the '90s and early 2000s. The revival is described as a love letter to Los Angeles and its culinary history, with plans for pop-ups and a flagship restaurant to follow. Community and collaboration are key themes in this relaunch, promising a nostalgic experience for longtime fans.
