Chick'nCone will expand its franchise presence in St. Louis, introducing 10 locations throughout the next 10 years. The brand is known for serving crispy, hand-cut chicken tenders in a freshly made waffle cone and has grown from four locations to 24 despite the pandemic, according to a press release.

"The ice cream cone was debuted in St. Louis at the World's Fair in 1904 and the moment changed ice cream forever," Jonathan Almanzar, CEO and co-founder of Chick'nCone, said in the release. "When Chick'nCone debuted its first St. Louis location in 2021, we were happy to further evolve the traditional cone and change the industry once again. We are confident that now is the time to continue introducing our handheld chick'ncones to the area for all to enjoy and experience what puts our brand ahead in the fried chicken industry."

Since its founding in 2014, Chick'nCone has 24 locations operating throughout the United States, Canada and the United Arab Emirates, with plans to have 50 locations open by the end of 2022.
