Technically, Project Pollo is still in business, but the recent acquisition has left the company in a standstill. It seems that a majority of their locations have been closed down, including Pollo’s sister chain Side Chicks. However, the team claims that their Round Rock, Texas location will remain open no matter what. A current Google search lists the Round Rock location as “Temporarily Closed.” One customer left a Google review in April, stating that the restaurant has a “Coming Soon” sign on its door, indicating that it will open again at an undetermined date.
There has been no recent news regarding the company’s state. As of this writing, Project Pollo’s website has been shut down, while their Facebook and Instagram accounts have not been updated since April, the same month as the acquisition. However, founder Lucas Bradbury is still listed as Project Pollo’s founder and CEO according to his LinkedIn account, meaning that he at least has some hand in running the business.
From the looks of it, it’s possible that Project Pollo is going silent as its new owners are revamping the brand. What that will look like for the company’s original vision has yet to be seen, but chances are Bradbury will put up a good fight to keep their missing intact if he is still on board.
