Chi-Chi's is Coming Back

[JamesG.]

Michael McDermott, the son of Chi-Chi’s co-founder Marno McDermott, confirmed in a press release that he plans to honor his family’s legacy with the return of the restaurant.

“We have seen the impact our restaurant has had on individuals and families across the country and believe there is a strong opportunity to bring the brand back in a way that resonates with today’s consumer — an updated dining experience with the same great taste and Mexican flavor,” McDermott said in a press release earlier this month.



The new Chi-Chi's locations were not made available, however the company confirmed to Nextar that while it is “in the early stages of planning by securing funding, we can say the first two stores will be opened in Minnesota in 2025.”

Hormel Foods bought the Chi-Chi’s trademark after the company’s 2004 closure and has produced Mexican foods under the brand. Hormel confirmed that the Chi-Chi's products will still be available.
