Brand history and additional information

Hartz Chicken Buffet was founded fifty years ago, in 1972, in Texas, United States of America by W. Lawrence Hartzog Sr. It was the first chicken restaurant chain in the Huston area that offered drive-through, and currently, it is the only chain that offers an all you can eat buffet with chicken as its main entree along with a large variety of other high quality, fresh products. Hartz has implemented this buffet concept in the middle of the 1980s when Houston experienced a severe economic recession.

Actually, Hartzog opened the first Hart’s Fried Chicken store in 1964, in Mobile, Alabama. But he sold all of his restaurant equipment, bakeries, and stores to the KFC company in 1972. The very same year, Wayne Johnson, Hartzog’s brother-in-law and the Vice President of restaurant operations, purchased the Mobile operation from the KFC company. Since then, Hartz Chicken Buffet has been run by three generations of the Johnson family.
