Frisby is a Colombian fried chicken restaurant chain founded by Alfredo Hoyos Mazuera in 1977. Frisby was founded in Pereira[2]. It started as a pizzeria; however, later its owners decided to finally go into the fried chicken market, pioneering the fried chicken market in the country, and bringing to Colombia the moniker for the dish, broaster chicken[1]. The owner claims that the company name, Frisby, comes from the technique of spinning pizza dough in the air, which makes it resemble a Frisbee disk[3] In 1978 they start opening new places in the Coffee axis. In 1987 the first shop in Bogotá is opened, and the same thing happens in Medellín in 1990. Frisby has more than 200 restaurants in 50 Colombian cities[1].
