About Pollo Tropical
Pollo Tropical: The Caribbean Fast-Casual Powerhouse Pollo Tropical is a legendary fast-casual brand famous for its 24-hour citrus-marinated chicken and vibrant, Caribbean-inspired menu. Now a flagship subsidiary of Authentic Restaurant Brands (ARB), the chain operates over 120 high-volume locations, primarily dominating the Florida market. Following a successful operational revitalization that boosted margins and speed of service, Pollo Tropical is initiating a strategic National Expansion reboot, with site selection currently underway for a projected growth trajectory starting in 2027. The brand serves as a high-traffic Anchor Tenant for grocery and power centers, offering a unique "fresh-casual" position that bridges the gap between QSR speed and casual dining quality. Pollo Tropical is actively seeking Tenant Representation to secure premier pad sites and end-caps that can accommodate its signature double drive-thrus and tropical patio ambience.
