Kristen Pierce-Sherrod, the driving force behind Harold’s Chicken, has passed away at 55, leaving Chicago’s food scene in shock. Her leadership not only kept a beloved family business thriving for decades, but also honored her father’s legacy—Harold Pierce, who opened the first Harold’s in 1950 when Black entrepreneurs faced huge barriers. For many, Harold’s isn’t just about great fried chicken; it’s a symbol of community pride and resilience. With her sudden loss, what do you think the future holds for this iconic Chicago staple? #Business #Chicago #HaroldsChicken
