March 20, 2023 // Franchising.com // QUEENS, N.Y. - Dave’s Hot Chicken announced that it has inked a franchise agreement with restaurant industry entrepreneurs John and Jeff Froccaro to open new restaurants in New York over the next five years.

“John and Jeff bring incredible experience and industry expertise to the table, and we could not be more thrilled to work with them,” said Bill Phelps, CEO of Dave’s Hot Chicken. “Their ambition and knowledge, combined with the support and guidance from Dave’s Hot Chicken is the perfect recipe for success.”

The two brothers are second-generation restaurant owners who, along with longtime business partner Harry Braunstein, have been in the industry for over 40 years. Their current organization includes Qdoba Mexican Eats and Burger King locations. In addition, over the past decade, a third generation of Froccaro family members have joined the company and are involved in the operation and development of their restaurant portfolio. As established business owners in the area, the Froccaro family are the perfect leaders to bring Dave’s Hot Chicken to Queens and Long Island.

Our team is thrilled to work with Dave’s Hot Chicken and deliver a restaurant option to our area.”

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.
