Project Pollo will be passing out FREE Chikn’ sandwiches during the Pollo Patrol National Roadshow. Photo: Project Pollo, used with permission.
November is World Vegan Month, and in honor of the occasion, Project Pollo is flying the coop to giveaway a total of 10,000 sandwiches during a coast-to-coast roadshow. From November 1 through 23, the Project Pollo wrapped van will travel the U.S., making converts out of carnivores one city at a time. Dubbed the “Pollo Patrol,” this mobile kitchen will be passing out FREE Chikn’ sandwiches made with house breaded crispy Chikn’ strips topped with house-made aioli and dill pickles. The concept is the answer to the often asked, “when will you open in my city,” question, and it’s all part of the company’s commitment to making vegan fare accessible, delicious, and affordable to everyone. (Project Pollo, 2021)
Going mobile is not new to Project Pollo. Some may recall that the popular chain got its start as a food truck near San Antonio, Texas before spreading its wings to brick and mortar locations across the state. For the past year, this plant-based fast-food chicken concept has had the fast-food industry squawking about its unprecedented growth of 12 locations in just over 12 months with plans to spread its wings to 100 stores nationally by 2024. The rebellious recipe for success lies in challenging industry norms with a combination of plant-based affordability, convenience, sustainability, and deliciousness that attracts the adamant vegan and the curious carnivores. Named one of the top 15 vegan fast-food chains in the US by VegNews, the first-of-its-kind concept is the brainchild of entrepreneur, Lucas Bradbury, who recently made the list of 28 Young Restaurant Leaders to Watch by QSR Magazine. More than just a restaurant, Project Pollo is a company that gives a cluck. With a motto of people over profits, the stores have given away more than 9,000 vegan sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs and saved as many as 239,782 chickens to date.
You do not have to hunt and peck to find out where these trucks will roost. Just follow their journey on social media @projectpollo for specific locations and updates.
Scheduled cities include:
• New Orleans, LA ((November 1 – 2) • Athens, GA (November 4) • Atlanta, GA (November 5 – 6) • Charlotte, NC (November 8 – 9) • Nashville, TN (November 10 – 12) • Phoenix, AZ (November 15 – 16) • Los Angeles, CA (November 17 – 18) • Las Vegas, NV (November 19 – 20) • Denver, CO (November 22 – 23)
Texas resident: to kick things off, this offer will be available at all Project Pollo locations across the Lone Star State during store hours on November 1, also known as World Vegan Day.
