As of 2013, it had over 2,000 locations in South Korea and also has locations outside of South Korea. Pelicana Chicken Malaysia held its "soft opening" on January 4, 2013, and the company planned to hold the grand opening of the first full store in July 2013.[4]
The chain expanded to the United States in 2014, and has established locations in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and (Seattle)[5] Washington.[citation needed]
Pelicana has also opened in China[6]. In 2022 it opened its first location in Canada, in Toronto.[citation needed]
Pelicana chicken started with its GochujangYangyeom chicken. This fried chicken dressed in a sauce made with Gochujang, garlic and onions grew a large crowd. There is an origin story that states that the founder Yang Hee Kwon received the secret recipe from Yoon Jong Gye and started the business, but this has been found to be false. Yang Hee Gwon developed everything themselves and started the chain shop in Daejeon not Daegu. There are cases where a Supreme Court ruling for seasoned chicken is made, however patents were not the focus of the ruling but rather the issue of trademark rights.
In 1982, leadership had been moved over to Mr Na, and just one year after, 500 branches were opened and thus in 1984, Pelicana was given trademark rights.
