Security is prevalent throughout the country of El Salvador. Gas stations and auto dealers and most larger businesses deal with a lot of cash. Here you see the Pollo (Chicken) Campero mobile store being guarded even before it opens for the day.


I had mentioned this chicken franchise in an earlier blog. Here is some more information on it:


DALLAS (May 12, 2008) – Pollo Campero, the world's largest Latin chicken restaurant chain, has opened a restaurant in the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Rowlett, Texas, its first ever in a Wal-Mart Supercenter.
“Pollo Campero’s unique offering of grilled and famous fried chicken creates a wonderful opportunity for Wal-Mart customers to experience the great taste and excitement of the world’s largest Latin chicken restaurant chain,” said John Murphy, Wal-Mart Regional Vice President, North/Northeast Texas. “We were attracted to Pollo Campero because of its unique, broad appeal to all our customers, providing a perfect complement to the Wal-Mart shopping experience. I’m impressed with the advance technology behind their food preparation and the highly trained team that will serve our customers -- great concept… great food!”
The new Pollo Campero restaurant is located inside the Wal-Mart Supercenter at 2501 Lakeview Parkway in Rowlett, Texas. Pollo Campero's goal is to open 20 more restaurants inside Wal-Mart stores in the U.S. by the end of 2009. The restaurant is a corporate store owned by Campero USA Corp., the U.S. division of Pollo Campero. A grand opening celebration for the new restaurant will be held May 15.
“Pollo Campero’s presence in the store demonstrates Wal-Mart’s sensitivity to its customers and underscores their commitment to enhance Latin American customers' experiences while bringing diversity to others,” said Robert Denegri, president and chief operations officer of Campero USA.
