There's a new US fried chicken QSR chain set to launch in the UK next year with plans for 60 restaurants - Dave's Hot Chicken.
Following in the footsteps of brands such as Popeye's and Wendy's which have successfully launched into the UK market over the past few years, Dave's Hot Chicken is set to become the latest brand to target UK expansion following its growth to over 200 restaurants to date and hundreds more franchise locations.
The first UK outlet of the chain is destined for London, with up to 60 locations planned across the country. The chain is set to enter the market in collaboration with Azzurri Group, the brand operating Zizzi, ASK Italian, Coco di Mama and Irish fast-casual Mexican brand Boojum.
Bill Phelps, CEO of Dave's Hot Chicken added: "We know there is an opportunity to make Dave's Hot Chicken one of the iconic restaurant brands, and we do that by partnering with incredible operators, like Azzurri Group.
"The flavour of Dave's Hot Chicken resonates across borders, and we're looking forward to the first UK store getting open soon."
