Pollo Campero To Arrive
at Downtown Disney Marketplace
This is an existing
Pollo Campero restaurant, and in no way implies that the
Disney design will look the same. This photo,
as well as the others contained within this story, is intended
to provide some insight into the new restaurant,
opening in November 2010 at the site of the current Downtown
Disney McDonald's.
(The following story was compiled from a
number of newspapers and magazines.)
Guatemalan chain of fast food restaurants
Campero signed an agreement to open a restaurant, to replace
the Downtown Disney Marketplace McDonald's location, which
closes on April 30, 2010. Currently, it is anticipated that
Pollo Campero will open its doors in November 2010. 
A sample menu, but keep
in mind that the company has pledged to offer low-calorie
foods and salads, too.
The restaurant offers Latin flavor that
characterizes the chain, as well as a new concept where fresh
salads and low calorie foods are on the menu.
Walt Disney World guests may taste
combinations with Pollo Campero fried yucca, plantains and
sweet Latino drinks, including horchata and tamarindo.
The menu will also include salads, nutritious
meals prepared by Pollo Campero chefs, cakes, and wraps. "For
decades, Walt Disney World has introduced its guests to a rich
cultural experience," says Juan Jose Gutierrez, President
of the Board of Pollo Campero. "We will contribute to the
cultural heritage of the [resort], helping guests discover the
unique flavors and the proximity of Latin-style family
meals." 
Officials
with the company indicated that negotiations with Walt Disney
World took four years, and that the company feels that this
particular expansion is very valuable to the development
of the Pollo Campero brand. 
"Walt
Disney world has 20-30 times the foot traffic that our other
restaurants have," said Gutierrez in a phone interview.
"Because of that business potential, we will have to
change machinery and architectural designs to answer
increasing demand. In fact, our new Disney restaurant will be
five times larger than a traditional Campero restaurant."
