Angry Chickz Brings Its Signature Heat East With First Pennsylvania Restaurant Opening in Kingston

July 21, 2026 // Franchising.com // KINGSTON, Pa. – Angry Chickz is bringing its take on Nashville hot chicken to the East Coast for the first time. The fast-growing restaurant brand will open its first Pennsylvania location on July 31, marking a major milestone in the company's continued nationwide expansion.

The Kingston opening introduces Angry Chickz to a new region while bringing its signature combination of made-to-order hot chicken, customizable spice levels and energetic hospitality to Northeastern Pennsylvania. The new restaurant marks the brand's first location in the Keystone State and its 45th restaurant systemwide.

As Angry Chickz continues expanding beyond its California roots, the Kingston opening represents the next chapter of the brand's growth strategy. The restaurant will offer guests the full Angry Chickz experience, featuring Nashville hot chicken ranging from no heat "Country" to the brand's famously fiery "Angry" spice level, along with fan favorites like Angry Mac, seasoned fries and signature Angry Chickz sauce.

"We're excited to open our first Angry Chickz in Kingston," said franchisee Eric May. "Bringing a brand I truly believe in to the community that's supported me over the years is incredibly meaningful. We can't wait to welcome everyone through our doors."

To commemorate the milestone, Angry Chickz will celebrate with exclusive grand opening giveaways beginning at 11 a.m. on July 31. The first 100 guests through the doors will receive a limited-edition Angry Chickz jersey, while the first 500 guests who register on-site will be entered for a chance to win Angry Chickz for a Year, along with additional food prizes.
