“Pennsylvania is where Love & Honey began, and it will always be an important part of our story,” Laura Lyons, Co-Founder and CEO of Love & Honey Fried Chicken said. “We have seen the connection guests have formed with the brand in Philadelphia, and we believe there is significant opportunity to bring that same quality, warmth, and sense of community to more cities across the state.”

Per Love & Honey Fried Chicken, their menu is centered on offering hand-dredged fried chicken, alongside scratch-made sauces and sides.

“We are looking for franchise partners who understand that successful growth is about more than opening restaurants,” Geoff Goodman, President of Love & Honey Fried Chicken explained. “It is about delivering consistently great food, creating an experience that makes people feel welcome, and becoming a meaningful part of the community. Pennsylvania provides a strong foundation for operators who want to grow with a differentiated concept in a proven restaurant category.”

Love & Honey Fried Chicken’s statewide push follows their recent opening in South Philly, as well as a 20-unit development agreement in Florida.
