The Colorado-born fast-casual chicken brand has signed its first Indiana franchise agreement, bringing five planned locations to the Indianapolis market as part of a broader regional expansion.

  • Birdcall signs a five-unit franchise agreement for Indianapolis.
  • Nikunj Patel leads the expansion into the Midwest.
  • The focus is on combining innovative technology with quality dining.

Welcome to the Midwest, where cornfields meet high-tech chicken tenders. Birdcall, the Colorado-born fast-casual brand renowned for its elevated culinary experience and innovative technology, is making its grand entry into Indianapolis. Helmed by the adept franchise virtuoso Nikunj Patel, Birdcall plans to unveil five new eateries across the city, starting with selections in the bustling Carmel-Fishers-Westfield corridor.

Why Birdcall, you ask? Well, it’s not just about the crispy, all-natural chicken; it's the meticulously crafted environment—from self-order kiosks to vibrant artworks—that makes an outing feel like a celebration. Imagine enjoying chef-inspired salads and gluten-free nuggets while the kids marvel at the modern art.

Driving this poultry-powered expansion is a team with a formidable portfolio in the world of franchises, including vivid ties to the juice bar scene in Chicagoland. "Birdcall stood out because it delivers both an exceptional guest experience and a business model built for growth," Patel shared between bites of hand-cut tenders. The brand's penchant for supporting local communities only sweetens the deal—with charity partnerships and school fundraisers part of its regular repertoire.

As Birdcall swoops into Indianapolis, it's part of a broader ambition to nest nearly 100 restaurants in six Midwest states over the next five years. All eyes are on Indianapolis, the vanguard of this ambitious move, as site selections are well underway.
