The restaurant is opening up at 501 N. Orlando Ave. in Winter Park. That’s about a mile north of the other chicken chains in the area; such as Chicken Guy!, Popeye’s, Chick-Fil-A and PDQ.
Vaz had previously planned to open the location back in January but that had been delayed.
The restaurant chain, which is based in Pennsylvania, claims to offer a “fork free” spin on chicken and waffles, opting to serve its poultry in a waffle cone.
