Los Angeles-based eatery Dave's Hot Chicken is setting its sights on a nationwide expansion, with its latest move introducing the hot chicken phenomenon to the residents of Pembroke Pines this Friday. The company, backed by a roster of celebrity investors such as Drake, Samuel L. Jackson, and Michael Strahan, has chosen Westfork Plaza at 14816 Pines Blvd as the home for its newest outpost, as reported by Local 10.
With opening hours set from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and an extension till 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, the hotly anticipated Pembroke Pines location joins over 700 other Dave's Hot Chicken establishments sprawled across major domestic market areas and international cities like Dubai and Toronto meanwhile the brand continues to leave its spicy mark in various locations, one piece of chicken at a time.
On a similar growth trajectory, Dave's Hot Chicken recently flung open its doors in Butler Town Center, Gainesville, as confirmed by Gainesville.com. The Gainesville outlet, housed in the former BurgerFi spot, is part of an expansive drive that could see at least five more locations introduced to the Gainesville and Jacksonville areas over the forthcoming years.
Dave's Hot Chicken's simple yet fiery menu ranges from temperate "No Spice" to blistering "Reaper" options, catering to the palate of the heat-seeking enthusiast and the spice-averse alike, with the company's success skyrocketing from its East Hollywood parking lot origins in 2017 to more than 200 locations dusted across the US, Canada, and the Middle East, Gainesville's branch will follow the traditional schedule of 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Sunday through Thursday and will stretch its hours till midnight on Fridays and Saturdays offering an extended opportunity for late-night food forays.
The chain's newest neighbor, a Chick-fil-A, opened back in April at the former Sweet Tomatoes location along Pines Blvd. and Dykes Road, hinting at a blooming fast-food scene in the Pembroke Pines area.
