What Happened To Project Pollo After Shark Tank?
By KIMBERLEY LAWS
Meet Project Pollo, a company with a website that boasts saving the lives of over a million chickens, and the company’s founder Lucas Bradbury seeks to change "the future of sustainable consumption." However, when Bradbury hit the "Shark Tank" stage, the Sharks deemed his valuation too high, but was that the end of Project Pollo?
Despite walking away from "Shark Tank" empty-handed, Project Pollo continues on its quest to decimate Chick-fil-A. According to the company website, they currently have 13 locations in operation and planned on opening eight more before the end of the year. In June of this year, Bradbury stated that he plans to expand to other portions of the country, although, currently all operating locations are in Texas.
Regarding his “Shark Tank” experience, he stated, "I can't expect the sharks to understand how to grow massive restaurant brands. Not a shark on there has done that, and that's OK." It will be interesting to see what the future holds for this purveyor of chickenless chicken. Perhaps, a Project Pollo will pop up in a neighborhood near you. You'll either call it one of the best foods seen on Shark Tank or head for a Chick-fil-A.
