Cluck N Cleaver’s Co-Founder and Chief Poultry Officer Francine Gomes joins us on this week on Let’s Meet For A Beer for a chat about career ADD and leading from below.
In 2016, Francine Gomes’ career ADD finally led her to going into business with her partner Nicole, who has spent 20 years developing the secret blend of spices that makes Cluck N Cleaver’s crispy fried chicken so unique.
The two of them had previously worked together in fine dining, with Nicole as a chef and Francine in front of house. Francine would later move to BC and begin raising chickens on her hobby farm. The two had joked about starting a fast food chain previously and one day Francine got a phonecall from her sister: “Remember that idea? Let’s do it”
Two years after the two opened their first location in Calgary, funding the business out of their own pockets without a single outside investor to date, they have ambitious goals. In the next decade they hope to open 100 locations across Canada and eventually expand into the US market too. Not only that, but Francine hopes to revolutionize the way we raise chickens.
