EG America is partnering with Krispy Krunchy Chicken to open the fried chicken quick-service restaurant concept at several of its convenience store banners, primarily Cumberland Farms.
Five Cumberland Farms c-stores across the Florida Panhandle will be the first to launch Krispy Krunchy Chicken, starting with a location at 3871 East County Highway 30A in Santa Rosa Beach on Sept. 22.
“We’re excited to bring Krispy Krunchy Chicken and their highly craveable menu items to our North Florida locations,” said Brian Ferguson, chief marketing officer at EG America. “Cumberland Farms is a daily destination for millions thanks to our exceptional coffee, fast and friendly service and unmatched convenience. Partnering with Krispy Krunchy allows us to elevate the food experience even further by delivering the quality and flavor our customers want, right when they need it.”
Other Cumberland Farms stores slated to add the first batch of Krispy Krunchy Chicken concepts are located in Destin, Gulf Breeze, Navarre and Panama City, Fla., with more to be announced later this year.
All Florida panhandle sites are expected to open by the end of 2025, with further growth on the horizon in the Sunshine State and beyond, according to the companies.
“Our launch with Cumberland Farms in Florida is an important step for us, as it strengthens our presence in a key market and aligns Krispy Krunchy with one of the most recognized convenience store brands in the country,” said Jim Norberg, CEO of Krispy Krunchy Chicken. “We’re building tremendous momentum, now serving all 48 contiguous states, and this collaboration highlights the strength of our premium offerings and the kind of partnerships they continue to attract.”
Westborough-based EG America has more than 1,500 retail locations and 18,000 team members across the United States. It operates nine banners: Certified Oil, Cumberland Farms, Fastrac, Kwik Shop, Loaf ‘N Jug, Minit Mart, Quik Stop, Sprint Food Stores, Tom Thumb and Turkey Hill.
