Church’s Texas Chicken Expands into Nationwide Catering Market

The expansion introduces a tiered menu structure designed for flexibility. Options range from buffet-style setups and large-group meal bundles—capable of feeding up to 50 people—to individually boxed meals tailored for corporate settings. The menu centers on the brand's core items, including bone-in chicken, tenders, signature Honey-Butter Biscuits, and family-sized sides like mac and cheese and fried okra. Customers can schedule orders up to 90 days in advance through the company’s dedicated online portal.

CEO Roland Gonzalez described the move as a response to the sustained shift toward off-premise dining. To drive adoption, the chain is offering a $15 discount on initial catering orders of $150 or more through the end of 2026. This rollout marks a significant operational pivot for the San Antonio-founded franchise, which currently operates over 1,500 locations globally and generates more than $1.6 billion in system-wide sales.
