Birdcall, the Denver-based chicken restaurant that prioritizes health and sustainability, was issued a permit last Thursday, Nov 3, for a new outpost located at 2220 S Santan Village Pkwy in Gilbert.
A representative of Birdcall did not immediately return a request for comment.
Co-founded in 2016 by current CEO Peter Newlin, Birdcall has garnered a loyal following for its variety of locally-sourced chicken sandwiches such as the Nashville Hot, Rancher, Grilled Chicken Caesar, and veg-friendly option the Meati, as well as its salads, sides, and shakes.
What’s more, the brand is known as much for its charitable efforts as its food. For instance, in April 2020, and in response to the burgeoning COVID-19 pandemic, the company launched Fuel Hope Kitchen, an initiative that’s still ongoing today and provides meals to frontline hospital workers. Likewise, taking inspiration from Patagonia’s 1% for the Planet cause, Birdcall similarly donates one percent of its profits back to the communities in which they operate.
In a statement published by Your Valley earlier this year, Newlin said, “Community is the heart and soul of everything we do at Birdcall. We want to be measured by the impact we create, not the money we make, and that’s why our beneficiaries range from local street artists and musicians to schools and nonprofits.”
Birdcall currently operates one Arizona location in Scottsdale, with another Phoenix outpost coming winter 2023, according to the company’s website.
