W.O. Giles started *NATSO Chairman’s Circle Member, Chester's International  in 1952, and though he started out frying doughnuts with his patented fryers, it was fried chicken that became the focus of his business. His son, Ted Giles, is the current CEO of the company, which began franchising in 2004, after previously following a licensing business model. In the last 50 years, Chester's has become THE destination for delicious fried chicken because we always help our retailers exceed their expectations. Chester’s serves millions of satisfied and loyal customers delicious, fresh-fried chicken and sides every day.  Chester's has locations on college campuses, in airports, convenience stores, truck stops and supermarkets.

The Nathan’s Famous story is as much about famous flavor as it is tradition. In 1916, Polish immigrant Nathan Handwerker started a nickel hot dog stand on Coney Island with a $300 loan from two friends and his wife’s secret spice recipe. Today, Nathan’s is the most famous hot dog in the world, with restaurants across the globe, products in every supermarket in America and millions of fans. And yes, the original Coney Island restaurant is still there at the corner of Surf and Stillwell – home of our annual Hot Dog Eating Contest. For more information, contact Susan C.
