Meet Ricco Cooper, Founder & CEO of Coop's Turkey Coop

---

They say the "grind" is a choice, but for Ricco Cooper, it’s a birthright.

Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Ricco learned early that "humble beginnings" are just the soil for a mighty harvest. With a work ethic inherited from the tireless examples of his mother and father, his ambition was always more than a notion—it was a mandate.

This Spring of 2026, that vision is manifesting. By the grace of the Creator, we are witnessing the birth of Coop’s Turkey Coop.

The name isn't just a brand; it’s a legacy. It pays homage to the Cooper surname, the strength of the family tree, and a lifelong dream to own the fruits of his own labor. As a seasoned GrillMaster, Ricco is bringing that Chicago fire to the grill, but with a "Sankofa" twist—looking back at our traditions to move forward with our health.

Why Turkey? 

Why NOT turkey should be the question.

Our community deserves a Comfort Plus experience. We’re offering the healthier choice without sacrificing an ounce of that bold, Southern-inspired flavor. It’s lean, it’s juicy, and it’s seasoned with the kind of love only a master of the craft can provide.

Coop’s Turkey Coop is more than a food trailer; it’s a commitment to the culture, the community, and the craft.

Real. Raw. Uncut. And Grilled to Perfection. Pull up to the Coop—Where the Flava Makes You Gobble Gobble!
