Pollard's Chicken

For decades, Pollards has been offering quality home-style food at reasonable prices in Hampton Roads. The Pollards legacy started in February of 1967 when my father, Clyde W. Pollard, my brother Robert and I opened Pollards Chicken Ranch in Norfolk. Two years later, we dropped the Ranch from our name and became Pollards Chicken. Our business has always been family-oriented; my sisters Peggy and Elizabeth began helping out as soon as they were old enough to work. My sister Betty Ann Gravely and I now own the business, overseeing eight locations in Hampton Roads. The Pollards catering aspect of the franchise was actually started in my mother Elizabeth C. Pollards kitchen in 1953 (then called Betty Pollards Catering). Ever evolving with the times, Pollards has recently developed a website to allow customers to order meals and catering services online.
