However, as they gear up for yet another anticipated season with the Kansas City Chiefs, their entrepreneurial moves off the field are also making a lot of buzz. In fact, they are now trying to gain popularity in the culinary world with Chicken N Pickle.

The star quarterback and tight end have teamed up to contribute to the sensational success story of Chicken N Pickle. It is a thriving restaurant and sports bar. With their shared investment, Mahomes and Kelce have enabled Chicken N Pickle to secure an impressive $10,000,000 in funding. This is a move set to fuel the restaurant’s ambitious expansion plans on a national scale.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce Team Up to Support Chicken N Pickle

Chicken N Pickle is trying to bank on an innovative experience that combines dining, sports, and entertainment. Their president Kelli Alldredge said, “I could never have predicted the growth and boom we’ve seen over the last few years.” Currently covering the area around Kansas City, they are now thinking big in terms of spreading their wings even further.

Helping them on their mission of a nationwide expansion plan, the Kansas City Chiefs duo – Kelce and Mahomes helped them to raise a $10 million investment. This will add to their already impressive portfolio. Apart from Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, the innovative diner has the support of about 30 investors. As per Kansas City Star, talking about the support from the Chiefs duo, Alldredge said,

“They’ve both spent time at our properties here in Kansas City going back several years. They’re real competitors, and it’s always great to have them come out and play. I don’t think there’s one person in this group of investors that doesn’t have personal experience with Chicken N Pickle and really love our company.”

With Mahomes and Kelce providing their helping hands, the nationwide expansion plan of Chicken N Pickle is already looking like a ‘Touchdown’.
