NATSO Welcomes Chester’s International as Newest Chairman’s Circle Member
NATSO is excited to announce that Chester’s International, a quick-service, fresh, fried, chicken franchise, has joined NATSO as a Chairman’s Circle member—the highest membership level for industry suppliers.
Chester’s, which was ranked No. 64 in Entrepreneur’s 2016 Franchise 500 issue, offers NATSO members a branded foodservice program that includes breakfast, lunch and dinner options and can be up and running in a matter of weeks. Chester’s operations team provides in-store training as well as ongoing support.
“Today’s drivers are pressed for time, and there has been an explosion in grab-and-go and quick-service food sales at NATSO member locations. We’re thrilled to have Chester’s support NATSO as a Chairman’s Circle member. Chester’s offers a quality product and is a leader in restaurant-in-store concepts, which makes them an ideal food-service partner for truckstop and travel plaza operators,” said Pamela Hayes, vice president of business development.
Chester’s serves millions of satisfied and loyal customers every day. Not only is Chester’s a cost-effective program, the company provides attractive marketing materials that will help franchisees drive sales and maximize profits. Like many NATSO member companies, Chester’s is a family-run business. W.O. Giles started Chester’s in 1952 and today his son, Ted Giles, is the current CEO.
Chester’s first joined NATSO as an Allied Partner in 1996. The company has taken part in several successful NATSO shows. As a Chairman’s Circle member, Chester’s will share its industry knowledge and insight with NATSO’s members in a variety of ways, including NATSO’s blog, Stop Watch magazine and The NATSO Show.
