Get ready, Cape Coral! If you’ve been searching for that perfect, laid-back spot serving up genuinely feel-good chicken, your search is over. Sunset Chicken, the fast-casual spot built on the simple philosophy of serving “unbelievably exceptional chicken tenders in a laid-back, feel-good spot,” just celebrated the grand opening of its newest corporate-owned location in Florida.
The doors officially swung open on October 20th in Cape Coral, and guests are already lining up to try the flavorful menu that goes way beyond basic fried chicken.
The Secret Sauce to Success
Sunset Chicken’s menu is built around fresh, quality ingredients and seriously bold flavors. Naturally, their chicken tenders and wings are a massive hit, but the whole experience is elevated by their signature Sunset Sauce (you have to try it!) and amazing fresh drinks, including freshly squeezed lemonade and brewed tea.
If you’re walking in for the first time, look no further than the crowd-favorite The Sunset Combo, or the hearty Sandwich Combo. These chicken-centric meals are designed to deliver satisfying portions and savory profiles that keep customers coming back.
The brand’s founders, Michael and Iris Mayer, stumbled upon the idea after retiring from healthcare and noticing a gap in their community’s dining scene. Mayer recalled realizing that the quick-service chicken tender industry was booming, creating a perfect opportunity to both increase their financial stability and serve the community a delicious meal.
Fresh, Never Frozen, and Ready to Expand
Sunset Chicken is on a mission to become the market leader in fresh-never-frozen chicken tender meals. This dedication to quality is what has helped the brand build such a loyal fanbase throughout Florida.
“We strive to become the market leader in fresh-never-frozen chicken tender meals,” Mayer stated, highlighting their goal to strengthen customer trust and loyalty. Click here to read Michael Mayer’s full interview.
With the success of the Cape Coral grand opening, the Sunset Chicken team is now planning even more expansion, focusing on building a stronger presence across Florida before moving nationwide.
Whether you need a quick, delicious lunch or a hearty dinner that feels like a treat, Sunset Chicken Cape Coral is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Stop by and grab a taste of that unbelievably exceptional chicken!
