Pollo Campiña was a Creeperian fast-food restaurant which specialized in chicken-related products. The restaurant chain was established in 1995 by Martín Ureña Piñon and Carlos Dávalos Obregón, who served as owner and CEO respectively, as a competitor to both Pollo Campero and Pollo Campestre, which then held a duopoly on fast-foot chicken restaurants in Creeperopolis. In 2018, after a lengthy investigation into the company by the Creeperian government, Ureña Piñon and Dávalos Obregón were arrested by the National Intelligence Directorate (DINA), which determined that Pollo Campiña was a front company to launder money obtained through drug and arms trafficking operations. The government also determined that the two had affiliations with Mara Salvatrucha, which they allowed to use their facilities to produce and store cocaine.
