Pollo Tropical expands Costa Rican presence

July 3, 2013

Pollo Tropical has opened its 34th internationally franchised location in the Escazú region of the San Jose province of Costa Rica.

The newest Pollo Tropical is a free-standing unit with a drive-thru and is the third of five restaurants expected to be opened by Pollo's Costa Rican franchisee, Chicken Tropical Service SA of Panama.

Escazú is a bustling shopping and dining district. The new Pollo Tropical location is situated on a principle traffic artery in proximity to Avenida Escazu, an outdoor mall with international brands such as Tiffany, Guess and Starbucks.

"This is among our most anticipated franchised locations opening this year," said Marc Mushkin, senior vice president of International Development. "Our brand is now the center of attention in what is considered to be one of the most vibrant and desirable commercial and residential real estate areas in Costa Rica."
