It was named after Pioneer Market, a now-defunct small chain of supermarkets in Los Angeles. The original location in Echo Park was located next to the 1980s era Pioneer Market (the original 1932 market having been torn down in the 1980s) and is (now a Walgreens Pharmacy) on Echo Park Avenue and Sunset Boulevard. Due to considerable redevelopment activity in the neighborhood caused by gentrification, it was shut down in March 2009.

Here's a reminder of how the Echo Park Avenue Pioneer Chicken looked in April 2009.

The next available image is 2011 (below). Like all the more recent images, it shows the current business as Little Caesars 'Hot-n-Ready Pizza'. Is pizza really more gentrified than fried chicken?
