• Chain restaurant Pollo Campero will open its second Nashville area location.
• The restaurant is presently slated for a February 2023 opening.
• General contractor Dowdle Construction Group will be overseeing the building of the new project.

Chain restaurant Pollo Campero will open its second Nashville-area location next year at 1616 Gallatin Pike N. in Madison.

The fast-casual chicken eatery also has a site at 30 Harding Mall Drive in Nashville.
