Harold’s Chicken Shack (also referred to as The Fried Chicken King,[1] Harold’s Chicken, or simply Harold’s) is a popular fried chicken restaurant based in Chicago, Illinois. The chain operates primarily in Chicago’s predominantly black communities but has additional locations around the U.S.
Harold Pierce, an African-American entrepreneur who moved to Chicago in 1943, founded the restaurant on June 22, 1950, at the corner of 47th Street and Kenwood, near the estate where he worked as a chauffeur. Harold and his wife also operated a soul food restaurant on 39th street called the H&H (Harold&Hilda); their specialties were dumplings and chicken feet.[4] Pierce differed from other fast-food innovators in his development of Harold’s brand.
