Bush's Chicken

The first Bush's Chicken was opened in 1996 in Waco, Texas by Keith Bush.[4] The chain was sold to Hammock Partners, L.L.C. in 2005. The headquarters was moved to Austin that same year. In 2011 Keith Bush's son, Corey Bush, purchased 3 of the chain's restaurants.[5] After a change in ownership in 2015, headquarters relocated back to Waco.[1]

In December 2012 the restaurant was hit with a lawsuit. The customer accused the restaurant of serving her husband tainted chicken from which he died.[6] Bush's was later cleared of wrongdoing based on medical evidence presented at the trial. [7]

Corey Bush filed for bankruptcy in Texas Western Bankruptcy Court in 2018[8]
