Brand Continues to Deliver a Best-In-Class Guest Experience as it Builds Toward a Big 2021
Los Angeles, CA (RestaurantNews.com) Dave’s Hot Chicken, LA’s favorite Nashville Hot Chicken spot, today announced the grand opening of its newest Los Angeles-area restaurant, at 1350 E. Colorado St. in Glendale. Beginning Saturday, September 26, Dave’s Hot Chicken Glendale will be open from 11am – 12am Midnight, seven days a week. The restaurant will be owned and operated by the founders of Dave’s Hot Chicken, longtime friends Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan, and brothers Tommy and Gary Rubenyan.
The fast-casual concept specializes in Hot Chicken tenders and sliders, offered at seven various spice levels ranging from No Heat to Reaper (which requires a signed waiver for those who dare), and sides of house-made Kale Slaw, creamy Mac n’ Cheese and crispy French Fries.
The 2,150 square-foot Glendale restaurant will initially be open for take-out, and dining on its additional 350 square-foot patio, with team members dawning custom Dave’s Hot Chicken masks, and social distancing enforced while in line. Delivery through all major third-party providers, including Postmates, Doordash, Ubereats and Grubhub, will also be available.
“Dave’s Hot Chicken continues to blow people’s minds with an insane combination of craveable hot chicken, unique spice combinations and best-in-class hospitality,” said Bill Phelps, CEO of Dave’s Hot Chicken. “We’re looking forward to bringing the most flavorful hot chicken to communities across California and beyond, as we continue to build momentum toward what we feel will be a wildly successful 2021.”
Chef Dave, along with his three best friends, came up with the idea for Dave’s Hot Chicken in early 2017. Chef Dave – a classically trained chef and self-described spice freak – was inspired by the unique, flavorful spice of Nashville Hot Chicken and set out to create his own craveable version.
Dave’s Hot Chicken is one of the fastest-growing restaurant concepts in history, having more than 200 locations under contract since it began franchising less than one year ago.
About Dave’s Hot Chicken
Chef Dave Kopushyan and three friends opened the first Dave’s Hot Chicken as a parking lot pop-up in early 2017. A self-described “spice freak,” Kopushyan fell in love with the flavor profile of Nashville Hot Chicken and wanted to bring that experience to Los Angeles natives. Dave’s Hot Chicken quickly took off, opening its first brick-and-mortar restaurant in East Hollywood. Now, backed by Bill Phelps, co-founder of Wetzel’s Pretzels and one of the original investors in Blaze Pizza, Dave’s Hot Chicken is focused on bringing its crave-able tenders and sliders to communities throughout the country. Additional brand investors include former California First Lady Maria Shriver, movie producer John Davis, Red Sox owner Tom Werner, actor Samuel L. Jackson, and Good Morning America anchor and retired NFL player Michael Strahan. For more information, visit www.daveshotchicken.com.
