Blas Escarcega, Vice President of Franchise Development at Pollo Campero, professed his excitement about the brand’s expansion into South Carolina, emphasizing the initial positive response received from the local community.

South Carolina, a New Frontier

The Rock Hill community came out in huge numbers on the inaugural day, intrigued and eager to taste a new flavor.
