Viva Chicken, a fast-casual Peruvian rotisserie restaurant with several locations throughout the country, today announced the lease signing of its next location in Summerville. The restaurant is slated to open in December 2021.
This first Summerville restaurant will be located within Nexton Square – (specifically at 506 Nexton Square Drive, Suite 103). This will be the company’s second restaurant opening in South Carolina this year; in the fall Viva will open its first Greenville location and a second upstate location will open in early 2022.
Founded by Chef Bruno Macchiavello and Randy Garcia, Viva Chicken has been cooking up Peruvian food since 2013. Viva's menu is highlighted by Pollo a la Brasa, charcoal-fire-roasted chicken that is a staple of Peruvian street food. The menu also includes soups, salads, sandwiches, bowls and a variety of signature sides.
“We've had our eyes on the Charleston market for some time now and we're excited to open our first store in the area later this year,” said Gerald Pulsinelli, Viva Chicken CEO. “Nexton Square has quickly become one of the premier dining destinations in Summerville and we're ready to share our take on Peruvian street food featuring Chef Bruno's family recipes with the area.”
The Nexton location will be the 14th for the fast-casual brand. Viva Chicken also has restaurants in the Charlotte area, North Carolina Triad and Utah.
