As Chicken Chain Brings Long Lines to Johnston, Local Businesses Ask for Customer Support
The national chain known for its tenders and special sauce officially made its first foray into Rhode Island last week.
Now, local businesses — who have been in the “chicken game” for years, are making a push for people to avoid the crowds — and support small businesses instead.

Last May, GoLocal wrote about the new “Taste of Italy” on Atwood Avenue in Johnston.
This week, they made the case for their chicken as well — in a short but to-the-point Facebook post.
"Come on down! We got grilled, we got fried and we don’t got lines!!" wrote Taste of Italy.
And it got a lot of love, with hundreds of likes and shares.
