Pollo Campero is marking its 55th anniversary by reinforcing its international expansion and growth strategy, boasting over 415 restaurants across the Americas and Europe. The fast-food chain, part of Corporaciรณn Multi Inversiones (CMI), is focusing on strengthening its presence in Guatemala, El Salvador, and the United States through new investments and strategic openings.

Manuel Molina, Pollo Campero's Marketing Director, emphasized the enduring connection with its customers. "Beyond the growth and the places we reach today, something has not changed in 55 years: the bond with the people who have trusted us generation after generation," he stated. "It is that affection that drives us to keep growing, creating memorable moments around the table, and being part of the lives of millions of families."

The company's growth trajectory includes significant milestones, such as opening its 150th restaurant in Guatemala in Quetzaltenango last year and its 150th in the United States earlier in 2026. A recent highlight is the opening of a new restaurant in the historic center of San Salvador, a project developed with an investment of US$2.5 million. This new location, situated in the emblematic Goldtree Liebes building, integrates local culture, notably featuring a mural inspired by the artistic legacy of Fernando Llort, created by the รrbol de Dios art school.

Pollo Campero currently operates in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Ecuador, Mexico, the United States, and Europe, generating over 10,000 jobs. These investments align with CMI's vision to foster economic, social, and environmental development in the countries where it operates. The chain plans to continue its expansion throughout the region in the coming years.
