Chick’n Cone

Meet the Owners

Matt and Deanna are a married couple from Wisconsin and Oklahoma. They met in Houston at a restaurant and have been a team since. Since the meeting, they have been in the restaurant business for over a decade. There was a period when they both walked away from the industry but couldn’t stay away long. After losing his job, Matt asked his wife, “What should we now do? She replied, “We should open a restaurant.” From there, they sampled Chick’nCone and thought, “This would be perfect in St. Louis!” 

The Business

Originally, Chick’nCone came from a couple of guys from Manhattan, NY. They came together and purchased a food truck that served chicken in a waffle cone. It quickly was a hit. They immediately had a buyer from Dubai, becoming the first franchise location. Later, they developed a couple of pop-up markets that were highly successful. Currently, there are a total of 20 locations.   

Community Impact

In 2020, Matt and Deanna started the quest to open a Chick’nCone on Euclid. It took about nine months to get opened due to the struggles with Covid-19 and supply chain shortages. They didn’t want to open a drive-through as their first location and wanted to find a place with heavy foot traffic. Euclid becomes the best location due to the proximity to colleges and the hospital. The items on the menu are amazing! Chick’nCone offers freshly made, hand-rolled waffle cones filled with delicious crispy chicken. They also offer savory chicken tenders, a chicken sandwich, and their new macaroni bowl packed with their famous chicken, french fries, and creamy macaroni.
