Dave’s Hot Chicken Enters the Philadelphia Area
New Agreement Brings Nashville Hot Chicken Concept to Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Chester and Delaware Counties in Pennsylvania
August 30, 2022 // Franchising.com // PHILADELPHIA - Dave’s Hot Chicken announced today it has inked a franchise agreement with Jiger Patel and Pranav Desai to open a minimum of eight locations throughout the Philadelphia area and surrounding counties.
Patel and Desai already have years of experience as multi-unit restaurant operators, owning several Qdoba, Checkers and The Green Turtle locations throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Florida.
“We’re really starting to make our presence known along the East Coast, and Philadelphia was a key market for us to enter to continue establishing Dave’s throughout the region,” said Shannon Swenson, VP of Franchise Development at Dave’s Hot Chicken. “With their extensive multi-unit ownership experience, Jiger and Pranav are an excellent fit for our brand and exactly who we want to bring us to a new market.”
Founded by Arman Oganesyan, classically-trained chef Dave Kopushyan and brothers Tommy and Gary Rubenyan in early 2017, Dave’s Hot Chicken initially opened as a parking lot pop-up, with lines quickly wrapping around the block.
Specializing in hot chicken tenders and sliders, with spice levels ranging from “No Spice” to “Reaper,” each restaurant also serves sides of house-made Kale Slaw, creamy Mac & Cheese and crispy Fries or Cheese Fries.
