Dave’s Hot Chicken offers a robust business model, including national and local marketing support, proven systems, manuals and operating procedures, as well as assistance with site selection. As the brand expands, it is seeking qualified, experienced, and passionate restaurant operators and franchise groups to develop the concept in key markets.

Chick-fil-A is also expanding by bulldozing several Columbus-area restaurants to make room for new locations. The chain is planning to demolish a Buca di Beppo in Worthington after purchasing the site for $2.5 million earlier this month. The hot chicken chain is one of several fast-casual chicken eateries expanding in central Ohio, like Bojangles, which is moving forward with plans to build a location in Delaware. The restaurant would mark the chain’s third central Ohio restaurant after the first opened in Hilliard and the second in Heath. To get the deal, customers just need to scan their Dave’s Hot Chicken app at the register.

Today, the fast-casual brand has its sights set on growing throughout the United States and currently has more than 400 units committed since announcing the franchise initiative in 2019. Cauliflower Sliders are served on a potato bun with kale slaw, pickles and drizzled with Dave's sauce & all Cauli Tenders are served with sliced bread, pickles and a side of Dave's sauce. Other central Ohio chicken eateries include a chain founded by Hall of Fame basketball star Shaquille O’Neal that is planning to open more than 35 restaurants in Ohio, beginning in Columbus. Slim Chickens is planning to open as many as 25 locations in Ohio, while Hot Chicken Takeover has recently opened several new restaurants. What began as a pursuit by four friends to create the perfect hot chicken in a parking lot in East Hollywood became almost an overnight success.

This Friday, Charlotte residents will finally have the opportunity to chow down on the famous hot chicken recipe, and those who dare can try their signature "reaper" sauce at the grand opening. For the latest breaking news, weather and traffic alerts, download the WCNC Charlotte mobile app. I visited this place on-a-whim; I was looking for something quick and easy to eat. The simplicity of the menu is astounding! You either came here for fried chicken on a bun with a side of fries, or you can get the f-out! The entire staff was attentive and courteous.

Dave's #2: 2 Sliders w/ Fries

The indoor seating is limited and packed, but they do have a lot of outdoor seating. Overall, the food is great and worth trying. Founded by classically-trained chef Dave Kopushyan and three friends in early 2017, Dave’s Hot Chicken initially opened as a parking lot pop-up, with lines quickly wrapping around the block. Since then, the brand has exploded in popularity and now has 21 locations in the United States and Canada.

Sliders are served on a potato bun with kale slaw, pickles and drizzled with Dave's sauce & all tenders are served with sliced bread, pickles and a side of Dave's sauce. Great hot chicken that doesn't require you to travel to Nashville. My family and I were craving some hot chicken and found this great place in Charlotte. We ordered the mild single slider that came with fries and a drink.

The mild was not hot at all and I wished I had got the hot or hotter for the spice level, and flavor. The chicken slider was delicious and I wish the portion was bigger because it tasted that good! Also enjoyed the sauce they gave and wished there were more fries.

In a modern-day American dream story, Arman Oganesyan and best friend Chef Dave Kopushyan, along with brothers Tommy and Gary Rubenyan, launched Dave’s Hot Chicken in a parking lot pop-up in 2017. Dave’s Hot Chicken quickly took off, opening its first brick-and-mortar restaurant in East Hollywood. In 2019, the team struck a deal with Wetzel’s Pretzels co-founder and former CEO, Bill Phelps, and movie producer John Davis to begin franchising the Dave’s Hot Chicken concept throughout the U.S. and beyond. The company has sold the rights to over 400 franchise locations in the U.S. and Canada and will open an additional 30 to 40 locations this year.

Today, Dave's Hot Chicken has location across the U.S. as well as in Canada. The company started in a parking lot in East Hollywood, according to its website. Four friends started with just $900 and a vision for serving simple chicken sandwiches. Buzz quickly grew on Instagram, leading to some of LA's best food critics giving it a shot. From there, Dave's Hot Chicken became a cult favorite before expanding in California and nationwide.
