History edit

 
Chicken strips, mashed potato, fries and roll from Bush's Chicken

The first Bush's Chicken was opened in 1996 in Waco, Texas by Keith Bush.[3] 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 three of the chain's restaurants.[4] 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.[5] Bush's was later cleared of wrongdoing based on medical evidence presented at the trial. [6]

Corey Bush filed for bankruptcy in Texas Western Bankruptcy Court in 2018[7]
