Chicken Treat

About Us

From humble beginnings in Perth, Chicken Treat is proudly Australian-owned with more than 30 years experience and still growing. We now have nearly 100 stores nationally, covering much of Western Australia and expanding across Brisbane, regional Queensland and Tasmania.

Our Values

 At Chicken Treat, we want to become your local community hero. Our goals are to offer:

• old fashioned corner store service - quick and friendly, the way you remember it 
• local owners and staff - where the guy who owns the store, runs the store 
• great tasting, freshly-cooked, home-style meals in our famous 12-hour marinated succulent rotisserie chicken and Countrystyle fried chicken flavours 
• great every day value for big Aussie appetites 

Our Brand

Chicken Treat is a leader in the highly competitive quick service restaurant industry for good reason. It combines highly creative and effective marketing with strong branding, advertising campaigns and an innovative approach to product development.

Chicken Treat continues to stand out from the rest with the help of its iconic animated and much loved “chicken”, and the choice it offers customers with 12 hour marinated succulent slow cooked rotisserie, lightly spiced Countrystyle Fried chicken products and a delicious range of burgers and wraps.

With the substantial backing of the Quick Service Restaurant Holding (QSRH) Group behind the brand, Chicken Treat enjoys significant buying power in products, marketing systems and advertising reach.

All of these aspects combine to position Chicken Treat as the “home of your favourite chicken”.

Our System

Chicken Treat is a growing franchise and we are always looking for passionate business owners that want to build the enviable reputation of being their local community hero.

At the heart of any successful business is a successful people recruitment and development strategy. Our most successful franchisees have a number of key traits and behaviours in common. They share a genuine passion for the Chicken Treat brand and a willingness to work hard. They are often motivated by the challenge of owning their own business and taking control of their financial future. Franchisees who actively work in and on their business are significantly more successful.

Whilst Chicken Treat provides extensive training to all new franchisees it is clearly advantageous to have a basic understanding of business principles such as budgeting, controlling costs, stock and cashflow.

Our History

The Chicken Treat story is a classic Western Australian tale of success, thanks largely to one man’s vision and decades of hard work. In 1974, Frank Romano opened the first Chicken Treat in Perth, introducing the public to a more ‘Mediterranean’ method of cooking and seasoning chicken.

In 1989, Chicken Treat and Big Rooster (WA) joined forces to form Australian Fast Foods Pty Ltd, expanding to close to 60 stores throughout Western Australia, serving six million customers each year with an annual turnover in excess of $50 million dollars. In 2010, Chooks joined the fold with another 40 stores.

Today, Chicken Treat has nearly 100 stores throughout Western Australia, Queensland and Tasmania. Chicken Treat operates within local communities with an emphasis on providing high quality, great tasting, great value 12 hour marinated rotisserie, Countrystyle Fried chicken meals and a delicious range of burgers and wraps.
