Keith Bush, founder of Bush’s Chicken, the popular Texas quick-serve restaurant chain with over 80 locations, announced Tuesday is keeping stores open in the area.
For almost two decades, there were five Bush’s Chicken locations in the Odessa/Andrews area. Due to the death of that owner two years ago, those stores passed on to new management. Since that time, three stores were sold and two have now been taken over by Keith Bush, a news release said.
“My family is from this part of Texas and it’s important to me that we keep a presence in the Midland/Odessa/Andrews area,” Keith Bush said in the release. “We’re a family type of restaurant and I’m bringing my son Corey back here to oversee these stores.”
Keith Bush and his management team will take over the store at 1705 North County Road West and the one at 126 W. Broadway St. in Andrews.
The first Bush’s Chicken store opened on the outskirts of Waco in 1996. Several years after opening their first location, Keith and Charlene Bush started franchising in 2005, and over the years the business grew into a chain of restaurants expanding throughout the Lone Star State.
