Dave\u2019s Hot Chicken quickly took off, opening an East Hollywood brick-and-mortar restaurant shortly after, with support from Tommy\u2019s brother, Gary. In 2019, the team struck a deal with Wetzel\u2019s Pretzels co-founder and former CEO, Bill Phelps, to begin franchising the Dave\u2019s Hot Chicken concept, with Billboard\u2019s Artist of the Decade, Drake, investing in the brand as well. The company has sold the rights to more than 700 franchise locations in the U.S., Middle East and Canada and will open 90-plus locations this year. Harkening back to an Eater LA blog that helped propel early interest in the brand, the company\u2019s mission is to \u201cblow their minds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Media Contact:<\/strong><br \/>Joshua Levitt<br \/>PR for Dave\u2019s Hot Chicken<br \/><span \n                data-original-string='tIDoGLKCLXw3N1jjuU2pmQ==7f4iptyiPx4st9qj2nxBvMMmS1SvTO+8ydS\/4lwl1JCLeo='\n                class='apbct-email-encoder'\n                title='This contact has been encoded by Anti-Spam by CleanTalk.
