Timeline
In April 2014, Okura's book about his experiences in fast food, founding Juan Pollo and scaling his chain to its current size was released, Albert Okura: The Chicken Man with a 50 Year Plan.
Albert Okura is the founder and CEO of the Juan Pollo restaurant chain in Southern California. He is also a philanthropist and is active in the revitalization of Historic Route 66. In 2005, Okura purchased the town of Amboy, California, which is located along Route 66. The corporate headquarters for the Juan Pollo chain now sits on the original location of the first McDonald's restaurant where Okura created and hosts a museum, preserving artifacts and memorabilia about the landmark.
In addition, in 2005 he bought the town of Amboy, California, located on Route 66, for $425,000. Okura's plans include improvements for tourists interested in and traveling along the highway and building a museum. He reopened the gas station in 2008, after $100,000 worth of renovations to the building housing the gas station, diner, and café. Counting on the traffic from a renewed interest in traveling Route 66, the gas station is stocked with candy and souvenirs.
The first location opened in January 1984. Sales were initially modest, but it wasn't until the opening of the chain's second location in 1986 that became popular, due to a large part because of a food review written by Norman Baffry, a food critic for The San Bernardino Sun.
In 1981, while working for Del Taco in Carson, an El Pollo Loco opened near him. At the time El Pollo Loco was a new char-broiled Mexican chicken chain. Okura tried the restaurant and was impressed with the food and the simplicity of its operations and began to investigate opening his own restaurant.
Okura is a third-generation (or sansei) Japanese American, born in Wilmington, California in 1951. His first full-time job was with Burger King in 1970, which led to managerial positions in the chain as well as Del Taco, and ultimately founding his own Mexican-influenced chicken rotisserie chain.
Okura purchased the location of the original McDonald's opened by Dick and Mac McDonald in 1948 for $135,000, which was being foreclosed on in 1998. Though the restaurant had been demolished, Okura recognized the property and moved his corporate headquarters to the site, which he described as "destiny." He also opened an unofficial McDonald's museum next to his headquarters.
