Let's get a Harold's in Midway Airport

Every time I leave Sweet Home Chicago, I wish that I could get a half for the flight. Frankly I wish that I could get four or five halves and take some home.

Imagine a Harold's franchise at Midway airport -- you wouldn't even need bullet-proof glass! It would be the safest, most secure Harold's on the planet (where else can you get all potential customers to remove their shoes to be x-rayed before placing their orders?)

Anyone connected with the Midway Airport people? If we can get a Yes from them and from the good people at Harold's, I just know that money would be available for the project. . .

Where else would you like to see a new Harold's?

Long time reader, first time poster. May seem a little ridiculous, but how about 54th and woodlawn. You know, when walking to Kimbark is just too long to wait for 5 wings with extra hot. Besides that? I don't know, how bout on Michigan Ave next to the Gap.

I'm from Singapore and I've heard so much about this legendary fried chicken. But yet to taste it. Somebody open one in Singapore?

True story - a friend from college graduated and went on to grad school out in North Carolina, or somesuch. He actually sent cash + a roundtrip plane ticket to have a friend fly down with a duffel bag filled with a variety pack of halves.

It has been almost 20 years, but Ben V., I salute you!

Don't forget O'Hare, McCarron in Vegas, LAX, Kennedy in NY, and every other major airport. Well maybe not LAX, they don't like healthy midwest food out there. :)

I am from Cedar Rapids IA. I always heard about Harolds but never had a chance to taste it until I meet my husband and we went home to meet the parents. Living in IA. my whole life I grew up on KFC, It is ok but It dosen't have anything on Harolds four wings fried hard and covered in mild sauce.

Apparently, from all the comments, it's time for Harold's chicken shack franchises. I am also from Chicago and miss it so much as well. I live in California and was searching for franchise information , but found none. I would purchase one to open out here in a minute!

Harold's in Midway would blow my mind. Does anyone know how to get in contact with the chain owners?

Harold's at Midway would rock! They've got all sorts of Chicago businesses there... Way more than O'Hare.

But in a way, it's nice that Harold's isn't that obvious to tourists ;)
