Boston Market CEO on Thanksgiving, food courts NEW YORK (AP) — Thanksgiving is a big day for Boston Market, which every year sells turkeys, stuffing, mashed potatoes and other dishes for those who don't want to cook. The rotisserie chicken chain says its sales of heat-and-serve meals for the holiday are up 20 percent from last year. Beyond Thanksgiving, the chain is also back in expansion mode following its bankruptcy filing in 1998 and acquisition by Sun Capital Partners in 2007. CEO George Michel says he sees potential for 1,500 locations, up from its current 460. Michel — who says he's referred to internally as "The Big Chicken" — is in New York City to work at a Boston Market location on Thanksgiving. Why do you think Boston Market's sales for prepared Thanksgiving meals are up so much? What menu changes have you made to reflect changing tastes? In late 2011, we added Market Bowls.
