Tips

culture
Founded 2003 in Hefei, Anhui by Shu Congxuan. Grew into one of mainland China's biggest home-grown Chinese fast-food chains (>1000 stores). Famous for the 2020 pandemic moment when the founder publicly tore up an employee petition asking for a pay cut, becoming a viral 'good boss' story.
usage
老乡 literally 'fellow villager/townsman' — the brand's folksy 'hometown chicken' feel. = chicken.
