Grupo Larrea, which runs the Church's Chicken franchise in Puerto Rico, confirmed it will open its 116th location in the Beverly Hills district of San Juan in the coming weeks. ^[1] The announcement lands as another fast-food operator on the island heads the other way. Encanto Restaurants Inc., the licensed franchise operator for KFC and Taco Bell in Puerto Rico, filed a Chapter 11 reorganization petition late Thursday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Puerto Rico in San Juan. ^[2][3] The two moves are not connected by anything in the record, and nothing here says Church's expansion follows from Encanto's filing. They are different chains and different operators. ^[4] For a reader deciding where to get dinner, the near-term news is plain: one franchise group is adding a store in San Juan while another sorts out its finances in federal court. ^[1]
