Food Shackers

Description
Built with a love for chicken and the Almighty, Food Shackers was founded in 1945 by William C. Chevy, who believed both that chicken was delicious, and that local restaurants were doing it a disservice by serving it dry and poorly battered. Chevy utilized a unique marketing method that saw him knocking door-to-door as a bible and chicken salesman. This strategy paid off, and by the end of the decade, Chevy opened the franchise's 100th store.

Chevy's chain continued to experience unprecedented growth as it was passed down from generation to generation. However, Food Shackers luck ended in 2013 when Dave Chevy, by then known as "Crazy Dave," was involved in a fatal accident involving a tractor trailer and parasail. Crazy Dave's son Greasy Dave acquired the business and, in 2017, returned the chain to profitability.
