"Chester's, a brand that is well-known among many professional drivers and travelers nationwide, was the perfect fit for our Akal Travel Plaza in California," said Yadvonder Virk, owner and operator of Virk Petroleum Corp.'s Akal Travel [image-nocss] Plaza. "This long-awaited location will allow locals to try this famed chicken right here at home."
The Akal Travel Plaza will serve lunch and dinner offering Chester's signature menu options including Chester's fried bone-in chicken, chicken tenders, potato wedges and biscuits. The newest Chester's will also offer both dine-in and carryout options.
"We are excited to be working with a successful operator like Mr. Virk," said Ted Giles, CEO of Birmingham, Ala.-based Chester's International. "We are also excited about bringing our great tasting fresh fried chicken to this beautiful part of the country."

Along with its chicken, Chester's offers flexible size and store layout options, training and support.
