Renowned Nashville hot chicken brand poised for future growth alongside new partners as it celebrates 10-year anniversary
Nashville, TN (RestaurantNews.com) As Party Fowl emerges from a period of restructuring, the brand will look to its next chapter of growth in a new partnership with Cherry Bounce Hospitality, a Raleigh-based restaurant group that owns a portfolio of restaurant concepts that include Cajun Steamer Bar & Grill, Trudy’s Tex Mex, Tower 7 and K-38 Baja Grill. In the coming years, Party Fowl will share its signature Nashville hot chicken and Boozy Slushies in expansion across the southeastern United States.
Party Fowl originally opened its doors in The Gulch area of Nashville, TN in 2014, bringing a unique take on hot chicken to the city’s vibrant dining scene. Over the past decade, it has expanded to three locations in Nashville, Donelson and a licensed location at Nashville International Airport, becoming a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.
“We love the culture, resilience, drive and passion behind the Party Fowl brand — it’s inspiring,” said Cherry Bounce Hospitality CEO Scott Taylor. “Our team looks forward to welcoming Party Fowl into our family of brands, supporting its continuing growth and helping up-level operations in this new partnership.”
In its 10-year history, Party Fowl has garnered numerous awards while establishing itself as a hospitality pioneer combining Nashville’s iconic hot chicken with a laid-back, fun atmosphere that appeals to a broad audience. As part of the new partnership, Cherry Bounce Hospitality plans to enhance the Party Fowl’s offerings with menu innovations that will include a revamped lunch and fresh takes on its popular slushies. Plans are also in place to open at least two new locations in 2025.
With existing operations in the Nashville area, Cherry Bounce Hospitality — a wholly owned subsidiary of Hargett Hunter — recognizes Party Fowl as a natural fit within its portfolio. “We are thrilled to welcome Party Fowl into the Hargett Hunter family. Their innovative approach to Southern cuisine and hospitality aligns perfectly with our vision for growth,” said Jeff Brock, Hargett Hunter’s Founder and Managing Partner. Brock added, “We have been tracking Party Fowl for almost a decade; so, we knew that we had to get involved when the opportunity to support the company in its restructuring emerged earlier this year.”
