THE HISTORY OF J&J FISH AND CHICKEN
Our Story
On March 8, 1982, James J. Green went in search of the American dream, he founded JJ Fish, a small store where he sold fresh fish to his customers and then charged $1.00 to fry it for them in his secret batter. Through his love and dedication he turned his small store into a very successful business.
THE ORIGINAL STORE WAS LOCATED ON 35TH MARTIN LUTHER KING DRIVE in CHICAGO, IL.
In less than 20 years, J&J Fish had expanded into more than 130 restaurants, with 90 locations in Chicago alone. The original batter fried fish has not changed except to include new menu items and a very successful dine-in and carry-out business.
