We’re confident his leadership will elevate our brand’s presence in this key market.”

Pillsbury brings a proven track record of success in franchise development, construction, and real estate, uniquely positioning him to lead the Denver territory’s expansion. His hands-on approach will focus on identifying prime site locations, cultivating relationships with potential franchisees, and providing essential coaching to ensure operational success.

“Denver is not just another market; it’s where we’ll set the tone for the brand’s future,” said Pillsbury. “We have an ambitious plan for 33 new stores over the next seven years, starting with our first location in early 2025. I’m eager to build on the strong foundation laid by Dave Liniger and help take Daddy’s Chicken Shack to the next level.” Pillsbury’s background includes scaling a commercial reconstruction company from the ground up to $23.3 million in production within seven years, showcasing his ability to drive dynamic, large-scale growth initiatives.
