Overview

• On August 12, Kiki’s Chicken Palace announced it will part ways with operators at 10 locations, which will rebrand as independent restaurants over the next month.
• The affected outlets span six Sacramento addresses—J Street, Folsom Boulevard, Arden Way, Marconi Avenue, Power Inn Road and West Stockton Boulevard—and sites in Roseville, Carmichael, Antelope and Stockton.
• Founders Santiago and Summer Gonzalez attributed the decision to post-pandemic overexpansion that outpaced the chain’s operational systems.
• Kiki’s will continue operating its other 23 locations, including food trucks, and plans to roll out new menu items in the coming months.
• Leadership says the consolidation will enable a renewed focus on consistent food quality and community-driven service at its core brand.
