Our El Pollo Loco and WKS Senior Leadership Team had the privilege of attending the El Pollo Loco conference a few weeks ago! The event was energizing, inspiring, and left us excited for what's ahead in 2026. We're proud to share that our team was recognized with three awards: 🔥 Turnaround Award 🔥 Food Safety Award 🔥 Community Champion Award We also had the honor of celebrating the remarkable career and retirement of Hector Martinez - a District Leader who's been with us since the very beginning, helping us grow from just 6 restaurants to nearly 400 today! This conference was a true reflection of learning, connection, and recognition. Thank you to our incredible team for all that they've accomplished and for continuing to make WKS a leader in our brand and in our communities. ❤️ #elpolloloco #letgetloco #franchisebusiness
