Pollo Tropical

The Pollo Tropical with its Caribbean cooking was there for years for the southern Floridians. However, the company could not find a foothold until it started expanding into Cubans, Venezuelans, and Haitians. It was expected in Texas to open the store, but it was never. By 2019, 23 branches had shut down due to significant financial losses. The trend continued throughout 2019, with more branches being shut down.

Nowadays there are issues with a float at the fourth largest pizza delivery restaurant in the U.S. The founder had some issues with the use of a nasty racial slur that took him down last year. Owing to the incident’s indignation and the shift of management, revenue fell by 7.8 percent. Analysts have cautioned of several closures in 2019 due to this dramatic change. The number of branches was projected to be 250.
